welcome to you, joshua boston. >> thank you, piers. >> just to clarify your credentials, you served infghanistan twice and iraq twice between 2004 and 2011 with the marines. you're no longer in the military. thank you for your service, first of all. some of the members of my family would have been out there fighting with you in both iraq and afghanistan and i know what you guys went through. it's very tough. talk to me about guns and why you felt the need to write to the senator in the way that you did. >> senator feinstein's legislation is essentially stopping us from owning ar-15s. if it passes, once we register these weapons, they won't be transferrable to anybody. which means once i get old if i want to pass these -- my rifles down to my children i won't be able to because it will be registered in my name and the law says it cannot be transferred. now, to me that sounds exactly like i'm being -- my family is going to be disarmed down the road. and these weapons, i understand that bad things happen with them. bad things happen with cars. but the second amendment was put there for a

. >>> joshua boston will speak with me live 10:45 eastern time this morning. >>> a kansas man thoughtdoing a good deed, answering an ad on craigslist. for the sperm donor, it's turned into a legal nightmare and now he is being asked to pay child support. earlier i spoke with merada and his attorney. i started asking the question most people have, how he even found the ad in the first place. >> perusing craigslist, like window shopping, looking around, and ran across an ad that was asking for a sperm donor. for what reason, answered the ad. >> you answered the ad and found out it was a lesbian couple who wanted to conceive. when you approached them, when did you find out there would be no doctor involved? >> i didn't know that there was no doctor involved. >> so from start to finish until you got this information from the state, you did not know that no doctor had been involved with this conception? >> correct. >> ben, william signed a contract with the women. what is your argument for the legality of this contract? was there an attorney involved with this? >> there was no attorney inv

joshua boston, an afghanistan veteran, joins me from louisville. ur ireports, joshua, have gone viral. more than a quarter million views in the last few days. what made you write it, and did you ever think it would get so much attention? >> didn't expect it to get as much attention as it did. these things happen. i wrote it because i kept seeing in the news this debate about gun control and points being brought up by senator feinstein, a lot of it's misinformation. it's fear mongering that she's spreading and it's being perpetrated by the media, as well. there's just not a lot of double checking, not a lot of facts coming out in this discussion. >> you wrote this letter, i'm curious, is it in regard to any proposed assault weapon ban or specifically the senator's? >> specifically the ones she posted up on her baby pa-- her b beige a couple of days ago. she intends to bring it as soon as possible in this next congressional session. >> what will you do if an assault weapon ban is passed? >> i'm not going to be registered. the precedent's already been

that really caught the attention of marine joshua boston who has got a gun.id, i'm not your subject. i'm the man who keeps you free. i'm not your servants. i'm 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'm the man who learned i am an american. he is not taking this legislation sitting down and he is just as outraged as you are about what happened in newtown, connecticut. but he also joins us this morning. >> steve: he did. and when asked about this proposed assault weapons ban, he had this to say about senator feinstein's bill. >> rifles, accounted for 323 deaths in 2011 and homicides. so i mean, more people were killed by hands, fists and feet. but we go after this because it was used in this atrocious event. next thing you know, the next time somebody use has bolt action rifle to kill 18 people at a college like happened in the '60s with charles whitman at ut, they're going to go after deer rifles and then shotguns because the precedent will be set. limiting our rights to g

a former marine and afghanistan veteran, joshua boston, says that he will defy a ban on assault weapons if it becomes law. more than a quarter million people have viewed his online letter to senator dianne feinstein, who plans to sponsor the bill. boston says a ban unfairly targets gun owners. >>> in minnesota, police arrested a pilot just as he was about to get behind the controls of a commercial jet. right now we know that he was scheduled to fly an american eagle jet with 53 people on board from minneapolis to new york. but airport police say a security agent smelled alcohol on his breath. charges are now pending. >>> and the fda wants new rules to protect americans from foodborne illnesses like salmonella and e. coli. the rules would raise standards for growing, harvesting, and packing food here and abroad. the cdc says 1 out of every 6 americans gets sick from food borne illnesses every year. >>> in alaska, an oil rig runs aground and sparks a new round of debate about the risks of mixing oil and water. >>> probably you will remember this. an oil rig in late december that was owned

marines, joshua boston who eight years proudly served, to write an open letter to her that was delivered via another network. >> here's the letter he wrote. it's gone viral. a portion of it says i am not your subject. i am the man who keeps you free. i am not your servant. i'm 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. it goes on to say that basically he objects to her plan for her new legislation for gun control. he says you will not tell me that i must register my semiautomatic ar-15 because of the actions of some evil man. this is obviously -- we can debate all of this. i feel confuses the issue a little bit. no one is talking about talking semiautomatic rifles or so-called assault weapons out of the hands of the military. that's exactly who needs these sorts of weapons. >> he's retired now. >> right. again, what we need is a dispassionate discourse. he's written a very passionate letter about how strongly he feels about being able to retain his gun. but what
