Marine Writes Letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein: ‘I will not be disarmed’
Guns,com ^ | 1/03/13 | | S.H. Blannelberry

A letter written by an 8-year Marine veteran to U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein. “I own the guns I own because I acknowledge mankind’s shortcomings instead of pretending like they don’t exist. There are evil men in this world and there just may be a time when I need to do the unthinkable to protect me or my family,” Boston said.

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

This bill has gone to the Judiciary committee which is headed by Lamar Smith of Texas. http://lamarsmith.house.gov/ You should see the list of usual suspects who are on that committee: http://judiciary.house.gov/about/members.html

I would think this would be the place to start our resistance - if it never gets out of committee, it can never be voted on. Carry on!

It is not Lamar Smith this year, this Congress.
