The recall campaign, announced last year but formalized with the notice, came to a head when Sweeney promised to keep a firearms bill requiring magazine limits off the Senate floor, then changed his mind after a 2013 meeting with parents of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
"He looked me in the eye and told me, as long as he was Senate President there would never be an anti-gun bill to hit the floor," recalled Dan Roberts, a Franklin Township Second Amendment advocate. |

| No NJ gun owner present or witnessing Sweeney's attitude and actions at pre-legislative hearings held in Trenton on several key gun bills will ever support him. Too bad its only up to his district's voters to oust him. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
