Joshua Boston wrote a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein, declaring that “I am not your subject,” which has drawn plenty of attention in the post-Newtown political arena. Boston appeared on Fox and Friends this morning not just to talk about the letter, but to rebut Feinstein’s response to it.Here is the letter the marine wrote to Senator 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″

These worthless tits of a bore hog commie Democrats and ebabeing RINO’s will shit on Americas fighting men one time to many.
Time runs thin now.
They are playing with fire at close range.
They do not know me.
Straightforward, to the point, etc.

@ coldwarrior:
As IF keeps pointing out, the people panic-buying everything out there are not doing so just turn it all in when asked to. The NRA is a measely 4+ million people, but there’s literally scores of million more behind them.
Minus the Fudds.
@ Mike C.:
alas. i had some weapons that would be worth a lot right now but they were lost in the blizzard and lahar on 93.
too bad. maybe one day i can afford to replace them.
@ coldwarrior:
I have only old-timey stuff -- SA revolvers, lever guns with low capacity, that sort of thing.
Anger is a great counter to fear. Especially when you can make the other side fear your anger…

Kudos to that marine. Well and succinctly stated.

these buttchuggers work for us, not the other way around…they need to be re-enlightened…mob their homes and scream, mock their stupidity, belittle them in public…elevating these asshole above their station is almost treason in it’s self
It’s interesting how the response from Feinstein’s office talks about the rights of “hunters and sportsmen.”
Too bad hunting has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
@ coldwarrior:
It’s that “return energy” knocking me back to the next county that I am having to figure out.
On the other hand the neighbors seem to be good natured about it.
Later folks.
Got some tinkering to do.

I wonder if somebody could engineer a pistol to hold, say, 20 of those bad boys? Not that I would purchase such a thing, of course. Just interested in the engineering aspects….
@ Mike C.:
i used to play around with one of those .17hmr’s.
i liked it alot. this new 17sm should be interesting
@ Mike C.:
Don’t see why they couldn’t. Kel-Tec already makes their PMR-30 that holds 30 rounds of 22WMRF.
@ Mike C.:
Oh, I’d like one of those, it would be great for prairie dogs and might be acceptable for my recovering eye. That is, if I were to get a gun to replace those lost in the big accident.

why shoot prairie dogs?
@ heysoos:
You must not own any horses or cattle in prairie dog country.
A gun thread.
/I don’t know where my gun is. Lost it. Hubby was ticked too.

Let’s see, for starters, destruction of 12acres of alfalfa on Dad’s farm. Along with pasture destruction, ruining barley crops and other destruction. Harboring bubonic plague is just a bonus.
Destructive and persistent little varmints that we never had when I was growing up. Suspect some kind-hearted developer relocated them to dad’s place and they multiplied.

One would have to ask a Coon-ass on that one and there isn’t any prairie dogs in Coon-ass country. I wonder if they taste like squirrels? They eat those around here.
@ Lily:
They just about eat anything around here. Lucky for the P-dogs.
I know what prairie dogs do…I was setting up for a recipe, or ask then what to you do with the holes?
@ Lily:
Haven’t heard of anyone eating them. My brother stuffed a couple for his high school taxidermy class years ago. Think they’d be pretty gamey.

Looks like they’ll be abandoning it for now….they’re hoping that they’ll get a House majority in 2014 and will revisit it then, of course.
Also, they’ll be needing some time to work their warfare magic and demonize gun owners and the NRA -- after all “Occupy Trigger Finger” can’t be built in a day…
@ AZfederalist:
Oh indeed! I don’t eat squirrels…but lots of people do around here.
@ heysoos:
Holes either get filled or are left to collapse on their own.
@ Mike C.:
Damn, and I just bought a .17HMR rifle last year…that looks like a neat round.
@ Lily:
In Louisiana, I thought squirrels were one of the main food groups. God knows my inlaws went huntin’ for them and frogs on a regular basis. I’d go visit and NEVER ‘et’ the gumbo.
@ Carolina Girl:
Well, that’s good news, but I was rather annoyed NRO referred to Joe Biden as “Sheriff Joe”.
There’s only one Sheriff Joe and he’s right here in Arizona and he ain’t a damn Democrat!
the prairie dog pie sounds tasty…

Oh they came up with that moniker for him that he was gonna clean up the mess. Clean up? That guy couldn’t be trusted not to do himself a mischief with a damn Swifter.
Carolina Girl wrote:
You can make Brunswick Stew with squirrel meat too.
I’ve never understood they objection to eating squirrel. They’re not rats, they don’t eat garbage, they eat healthy natural stuff like nuts, acorns and seeds.
The Environmental Protection Agency collected $252 million in civil and criminal penalties in fiscal year 2012 – an all-time record amount, and more than twice the $168 million assessed in fiscal 2011, according to the agency’s annual enforcement results.
The agency touted the fiscal 2012 fines and other enforcement actions in a Dec. 17 news release, calling them the result of “vigorous enforcement.”
For example, in the past year, school bus contractors have been fined more than $400,000 for “excessive idling,” and landlords have been penalized more than $40,000 for failing to hand out “EPA-approved” pamphlets on the dangers of lead-based paint.

Don’t blame you!!! A true Coon-ass eats all kinds of things frogs, turtles, squirrels, gators you name it.

I shot a squirrel once, skinned it, cooked it up and tried to eat it….it tasted really bad, but it was so loaded with shot it was unedible
@ Lily:
Don’t y’all have those big rodents with the nice fur that got brought in from Argentina or somewhere? Nutria, I think they are called?
@ heysoos:
Really? I’m not surprised to be honest.

Did you fry it in the popcorn popper, like Mike Huckabee?
Off to go set up for the gun show.
I’ve been hoping it would warm up. At least the wind has died down some.

an old 20ga shotgun was all we had and some bird shot…blew it apart actually, but it tasted awful…I’ve had turtle down in Jamaica, very good…was a stew with a base from pumpkin…the same soup they use for conch….yummy

made a stew, with tomato and potato etc
Hmmm...some of these recipes sound downright tasty.
heysoos wrote:
Need to ask someone from Louisiana besides me…for how to cook those up so they don’t taste gamey and full of buck-shot. It’s an art in how to cook them around here.
The Osprey wrote:
I’ve heard they’re pretty tasty if cooked properly. Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit is always talking about eating the “nuisance species” like nutria and zebra mussels and it sounds like a good idea.
Lily wrote:
we were just dicking around, experimenting…I don’t think a shotgun is the way to go…I’ve yet to taste anything in LA that wasn’t good…gator tail is excellent
@ heysoos:
Hubby says you have pick all the shot out and it’s good IF cooked right. Me…I would never even taste it.
@ heysoos:
Alligator is fantastic. They have alligator fritters on the appetizer’s list at Pappadeux. I’m not sure what part of the ‘gator the meat was from but the texture of it reminded me of lobster.
@ heysoos:
LOL! I have come across somethings I will not taste. Sure there is plenty of good food…but there is some strange food too.
The Osprey wrote:
The only meat you eat off a gator is the tail.
/asking hubby …because I don’t eat that stuff.

Yeah, I ‘ve read about that Kel-Tec. Not much of a round unless you had to walk into a cloud of them.
The Osprey wrote:
from the tail…cut filets, skewer them, dipped in batter and deep fried….it’s a staple at fairs and festivals all across the south…gator on a stick
@ Lily:
I suppose dog and rattlesnake is right out then…
@ heysoos:
Also gator balls kinda like hush-puppies.

rattlesnake is really good…nuggets…but BBQ was the only time I’ve had it…a fine, white meat, very tender

I’ve had rattlesnake here in AZ and was not impressed. Kind of like a very dry bony fish.

I need to get back to the Gulf…I love it over there, and you’re making me hungry…there is an annual music festival in Norfolk, VA…called the Bayou Boogaloo, a tribute to NOLA…they really put up the chow, all vendors are from LA….been there three times and I tell you I never at like that….first time I ever ate crawfish out of a box, gator tail and some other stuff…ice cold Abita beer, lots of zydeco…that’s what I work and live for, stuff like that
@ heysoos:
Norfolk VA? There will be some good blue crab there for sure!
Lily wrote:
Oh, that sounds good!
@ heysoos:
Crawfish ettouffe. Love the stuff
Tastes just like chicken!
The rattlesnake, not the dog. The dog is more like beef. I don’t know what the steamed cicadia larva tasted like because I do draw lines in some places. Sea cucumber tastes like boiled snot. About what I’d image the texture to be, too.

it’s not a real huge gig, but very high quality…I’ve driven down from MI. spend three days or so and come back…I like Norfolk

Why go all the way to Norfolk? Just stop here and hit one the festivals! Plenty of that food around here..oh and I forgot Gar Fish balls too!
I highly recommend this party if your around those parts…this gig is a blast….

Have to agree Louisiana is a different type of state for sure. I lived in another state for 2 years and I really missed Louisiana. It gets in your blood. Hot as hell at times….but lovely too!

Kel-Tec also makes this bad-ass motherfucker!
Hmmm, got a line on a WW1 era 1911…

Might make a good thread topic.
@ Lily:
My father in law had a GREAT gumbo recipe and it included chicken, shrimp and sausage. He gave me the recipe so I could make it when we left Louisiana.
Of course, it costs over $100 to make it correctly, since I have to send away for the andouille sausage and the Gulf shrimp. However, it feeds an army.
@ Lily:
I hear ya on that. Barely lived in New Orleans for two years but it just stays with you. Lived in San Francisco for 14 years and soooo want to put it behind me.
RED BEANS AND RICE!!
My mama was born and raised in New Orleans and New Orleans will always mean red beans and rice. It’s taken me a few tries, but I think I have it down now.
Lily, do you believe this? There’s this new cookbook out Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking. One of the authors worked with Julia Child. I was SO exxcited when my copy arrived.
Guess what. There is not ONE recipe for red beans and rice. Okra is mentioned twice.
The thing is huge -- doorstop huge -- so don’t tell me they couldn’t find room.
I’m donating it to the library.
@ huckfunn:
@ AZfederalist:
Got a great recipe for that, too. I think I’ll include it in the Superbowl cookbook.
@ Mike C.:
I will forego asking Mike for his field research notes on the determination of the taste of boiled snot……

if you are gonna make beans and rice, try cooking the rice in coconut milk…down in Jamaica the best rice is cooked with fresh of the tree milk…you’ll not be disappointed

For fish. We liked crappie. Then maybe perch or walleye. Catfish and Salmon over rated. Ocean fish orange roughy from South America.

Doesn’t sound to me like they’re abandoning it. Biden apparently let leak the WH plans for the executive orders. Longer more intrusive background checks, ban on 30 round mags, limitations on certain types of ammo, reinstatement of the Klinton “assault” weapon ban, and basically shutting down gun shows to stop the imaginary loophole.
