‘No ma’am’: Letter from U.S. Marine to Dianne Feinstein goes viral

[T.O.K.]

The following letter, written by U.S. Marine Joshua Boston and headlined “No ma’am.,” was posted in the CNN iReport on Dec. 27 with the included note from the producer and photo. It has struck a nerve with many and is being circulated around social media venues like Twitter and Facebook.

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
2004-2012

I wrote a similar letter to Feinstein when the original ‘assault weapons’ ban was being debated. It was my senator at the time. When the letter acknowledging receipt of my missive by a staffer in her office arrived with the end of the reply reading in brief “...we will have to agree to disagree.” I realized there was no use in trying to use logic to defeat dogma and a political agenda. I haven't written a politician at any level of government since and subsequently have adopted the tactic of handling the problem face-to-face with whomsoever has the gall to knock on my duty hut door. That is a tactic not a strategy; but as they say, “You don't want to be ‘that’ guy!”

Cheers!

Of course their views must be mainstream. Why just look how they “won” the election.

Senator Dianne Feinstein,

I will not register my weaponry for you as you hire armed protectors but want me disarmed. Go eat worms, ghoul.

Wish you would have posted his whole comment, your snippet looks allot like what the MSM try to do.

[Mr. Silverback]

Well then, you’re a contemptible moron and should go to DU.

If you’re thinking that I’m out of line for saying such an insulting thing, consider that I froze my butt off and worked a lot of hard and sometimes dangerous hours to protect this nation while William Jefferson Clinton was the CINC. I was not serving Slick Willie, I was serving the United States of America. I suspect that Corporal Boston was doing the same.

So, in other words, shut your ignorant piehole and show some respect for a young Marine who was willing to take a bullet for your country.

I don't respect any man that served the Usurper.

Then try serving God and a Constitution that protects the rights and liberties He gave you!

“...We, the people, deserve better than you....”

OOO-Friggin’-RAH!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding, Marine...

I, a woman, didn’t think his letter was disrespectful to women in general at all.

Seems strange to me that you’d even focus on that.

The libs know that they are outnumbered, yet they attempt to hoodwink Americans into thinking that they are the majority.

Wrong. The re-election of Hussein shows that WE are the ones who are outnumbered..

Boy, you deserve to get hammered for that post. If it were me I’d ask the mods to removed it.

Amen, Amen, Amen.

What if all the patriotic men and women had left the respective services starting with when Clinton began defiling our country?

Even if they toughed it out until the usurper defrauded his way into power, what would have happened?

Just a guess on my part, but I’d say both those anti-American skanks would have been delighted to have our military reduced to a skeleton force that would be laughed at by our foreign enemies but who would be thugs who would love to follow ANY orders given by our domestic enemies—especially if turned loose to wreak havoc on us one dissenting group at a time.

Damn! Damn good! I will stand with you Joshua Boston and there are millions of 'Joshua Bostons' in this country.

The murder of 26 PEOPLE by 1 PERSON causes the government to ban/confiscate over 100 MILLION PEOPLE'S GUNS???.. NO F'ING WAY, 'KNEE-JERK DIANNE'!!!
