Josh Boston was a Marine deployed to Afghanistan between the years of 2004 through 2005. He is no longer in the Marines but penned this letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein following her announcement to outlaw 120 specifically-named firearms including certain semiautomatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns..
CNNi reported:
Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that
it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joshua Boston
Cpl, United States Marine Corps

"AMEN! You sir are a true “AMERICAN PATRIOT”! He is what makes America the land of the free and home of the brave. These idiots have to be removed from Washington ASAP! These are the same people who can’t balance a budget; who haven’t passed a budget in years; who spend more money than they take in every year; who want to spend more money every year; who don’t do anything about waste and fraud; who start unfunded wars; who sell criminals the same type of guns they don’t want us to have but result in hundreds of deaths do to their stupidity; who are exempt from Obamacare; and they think we are supposed to take them seriously? Feinstein is a pompous ass. She does indeed think the American people are her subjects. This marine might find himself being harassed by the IRS or some other government agency for writing this letter to the California hag. This is what elitist ilk do when the people are brave enough to stand up to them". MC
