No Ma'am

Post by JC77 »

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,

For what I was and am,
I won't be reconstructed
And I don't care a damn.

That Marine is a hero. He'll never know how much of an impact his letter is having in the heads of lawmakers who've been stuck in DC for far too long.

God bless you ladies and gents.

Another example of America's finest defending freedom!
Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready.

Such a fine and well written letter from a Great American ! The only thing that should have been added is some Gun Porn of His AR15. :tommygun: :tommygun: :tommygun:

The wench's response:

In response to Boston's letter, Feinstein released this statement:

"Senator Feinstein respects Cpl. Boston's service. She has heard from thousands of people -- including many gun owners -- who support her plan to stop the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of assault weapons and large capacity magazines, strips and drums that hold more than 10 rounds. As Senator Feinstein has said, the legislation will be carefully focused to protect the rights of existing gun owners by exempting hundreds of weapons used for hunting and sporting purposes."

*******************************

She may have heard from "thousands" of people, but there are MILLIONS of GUN OWNERS!

Don't sweat it. Didn't hurt us none. Matter of fact, I'd say that one DESERVED to be posted twice. :first:
