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 Dear, Senator Ditto not even close to being respectful yubba |

He is only a Corporal in the Marines and he has been in since 2004 eight years? He should be an NCO by now really even if you take a while you should be an NCO after eight years in the armed forces.Even if he is in the Reserves he should be an NCO after eight years.His military discipline must be very poor.The new cut off limit for a Sargent in the USMC is now 10 years of service earn Staff Sargent or leave this dude has been that long nearly and he is not even a Sargent yet.
Also he should learn to follow the regulations and standards of the Marine Corps one of them is not to make political statements using the fact of being active duty service to put across your point. |

I am not sure about that one, but, this Marine was right. The Senators are supposed to serve us. Soldiers are the people that allow people like you and me sleep at night. We know that when we go to bed that we have people out there every day fighting for our rights. Even if most of America is lazy and on welfare/food stamps.

I don't expect you to know the UCMJ and DOD regulations UCMJ is Uniform Code of Military Justice a code is a law in the UCMJ.Maybe others missed it but I recall very strong emphasis on political things what we could and could not do when I was in the Air Force and for any military member ignorance of a code(law) is not a defense. Honestly the guy who wrote this letter sounds like a screw up to me based on his service time and rank it is pathetic.I would have respect for Marine that simply used his name but not his rank or branch of service and also only mailed the letter to the intended recipient. Also the guy is a moron because in most states when you buy a firearm you are required to register it anyway it has been this way for many years in many states even some of the most lax gun law states require you to register. |

I believe he said he was a veteran of 8 years, so he might be a discharge Marine like myself ..If he isn't active then you are wasteing your breath

I know I saw that but he is only separated then not retired no 20 or more years and he is not a wounded vet because he surely would have said so.No offense but after 8 years only being a Corporal is not very impressive that is only E-4 most have this rank in two or 3 years and this guy stayed at E-4 for 5 years not a very good Marine.

I think this is more likely a case of Cpl Chain Mail than it is Joshua Boston.

That's why we call it the Suck, I did 4 years and was a E-3 I was a very bad Marine but non the less I was a Marine, a good Marine either dies or gets fragged. I knew 30 of the 300 that died in the barracks bombing in Beiruit, if I had been a good little Marine I, might have died there too.

Advancing in rank is highly overrated. Never could picture myself as a chief sitting around drinking coffee all day and not actually getting my hands dirty.

Has anyone read what Diane is proposing?
I would say the chances if that, as written, even getting out of committee are approximately slim with a chance of it being approved very close to zero. ![]()

I read it. It's more draconian than even the regulations on their full auto counterparts.
