Marine Blasts Feinstein Gun Control

Jan 17, 2013

Former U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Joshua Boston wrote a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) declaring that he will not register his guns with the government even if a gun ban is passed.

Senator Feinstein wants to ban guns in response to the Newtown school shooting with a bill to bring back the 1994 assault weapons ban.

The Marine Corps veteran says the government does not need to know what guns he owns because firearms registration will ultimately lead to confiscation, killing the Second Amendment.


Letter from Cpl. Joshua Boston 
to U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein


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
