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
