From guns.com:
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
God bless the United States military, and God bless that Marine, Joshua Boston.
I am an Oathkeeper.

I’d like to shake Joshua Boston’s hand and tell him how proud I am of him. He worded that letter so well!
Did he not? It was wonderful.
And, of course, thank you kindly, hgsurf, for taking the time to visit, and for your comment. Please return frequently.
BZ
Thanks for the invitation and I certainly will return.
God bless Joshua. I think many of us feel the same way. The government has absolutely no right to invade our privacy or dictate what we can and cannot purchase or own.
True. But they will push and push until there is, itself, pushBACK.

As a “retired” Captain MACV_SOG 1961-1965,,, I back this patriot to the hilt!
The man, MrC, is clear and concise and an American patriot.

OohRah, Brother!
Semper Fi!
From the ‘For What It’s Worth’ department, an addendum to Cpl Boston’s letter:
“Full Mag” Feinstein could use a lesson on where NOT to be pointing a ‘gun’ as she gives demonstrations on the danger of these ‘guns.’ My thinking is that our Founders wrote the 2nd Amendment SPECIFICALLY to keep Americans safe from their OWN government, too. I also think that may have been one of the reasons that we split from Britain — the disarming of British citizens.
Even if we were to disarm every law enforcement agency, all our military and any other group now allowed BY THE GOVERNMENT to be armed, I’m not giving mine up. What about the rest of the world… or, the guy sitting right beside me? Let’s see how “Full Mag” and the rest of the government toadies out there, who depend on their ARMED body guards, would fare if they had to depend upon themselves for their own protection.
I want to be armed with the same firepower as my government — they’ve got a 30 round mag, then I want to be able to have a 30 round mag. I feel I’ve given a mile by conceding to their having fully automatic weapons and I can only have semi-auto (even though full-auto in the hands of someone not trained is pretty ineffective.)
That said, I’m all for gun control — as long as there is only one gun in the world and I control it.
Well reasoned, sir.

Kudos to the writer but do any of you honestly believe that a despicable BITCH like Feinstein will read it? And if she does, will she even care?
There’s is only one thing that will get the attention of people like her, and letter writing is not it…
