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
Is this for real or another snopes expose? This looks exactly like something I would get in a viral email, then I find out it’s a hoax.
Looks like its the real deal Yoda. Been on Brietbart and looks confirmed.
Her bill is pretty draconian. I suspect she leaned far forward in the hopes of "compromise." Meaning we 2nd amendment folks give up a little of our already dwindling freedom.
The bottom line is, if congress and the president want to change the 2nd amendment, let them call a Constitutional Convention and give it a try. Let them stick THAT in their pipe and smoke.
Nice :-)
Hey dingdong....The MAN served his COUNTRY.
I don't recall that our oath has changed in recent times. This young Marine has defended your right to slander him.
"I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some man who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one."
Would you "thinks he doth protest too much"?

Another Poster added this, “How does disarming ME make ME any safer”, (to which I add) “from YOU”?
Totally concur with your statement!
Wold may refer to :
Geography
Wold is an Old English term for a forest or an area of woodland on high ground, it is cognate with the Dutch word woud and with the German word Wald, both meaning forest. It became Weald in West Saxon and Kentish.
The Wolds, a term used in England to describe a range of hills consisting of open country overlying limestone or chalk (see Wood, Wald)
The former name of the village of Old, Northamptonshire, England
Well if real, and looks like it is, it’s an awesome letter, but the communist propaganda machine posing as our media will never give it legs. To them it doesn’t exist. It would be interesting to find out one day though, the exact statistics of how many people come across things like this because it never seems to get through and idiots like Dianne Frankenstein constantly get reelected. I wish to hell I had some major money to burn, I would buy air time and televise stuff like this, an hour show with a studio audience Superbowl halftime.
Ok. So here’s my new bumper sticker:
I am a law abiding citizen.
Why would disarming ME make ME any safer?
Why would disarming ME make YOU any safer?
Only government feels safer when citizens are disarmed.
Yeah I know, it waxes long. I still like though :-)
It is the very least you deserve, sir.
So you admit you are armed. Why are you posting crap online instead of leading a coup, then?
I say it's because you are a coward. Perhaps you have another explanation. Let's hear it.
I will answer my question for you: YOU DID NOT SERVE, yet you condemn those of us who did and do.
Another question: Please tell all of us just HOW YOU AVOIDED paying your federal taxes to the usurper?
You are a pompous fraud.
I have nothing but contempt for those that serve the Usurper. It's as simple as that.
BTW....I have a special contempt for those in the officer corps, supposedly educated men. How can you take an oath to protect and defend a document you have never even read?
Once again Mr. Tell hits the apple.
Actually, mostly he bitched and obstructed. It was only after he got Alzheimers and could not remember more than 15 seconds at a time that we could work together well. We built a small cabin in the woods with no electricity. I would start a saw cut in a 2 x 6 and he would finish it for me. He would hold things where I asked him to and I would nail them into place.
