If ever there was a case for allowing university students to carry guns, this would be it. I implore all of you who support gun rights to take note of just who it was that stopped this terrorist dead in his tracks. It certainly wasn’t the police. It was Ytizhak Dadon, a student at the seminary school, who had a gun license and was allowed to tote a pistol. And, if it had not been for a gun-toting student, the body count would most certainly have been a lot higher…
So, put that in your peace pipe and smoke it, you whiny little anti-gun pussies.
Press ‘ignore’ terrorist stopped by armed student
‘Mr. Dadon is not going to become a victim of this conspiracy of silence’

A gun rights organization in the United States is accusing the media of trying to conceal the fact that a gunman who attacked students at Jerusalem’s Mercaz Harav seminary was stopped by an armed student at the school.
Authorities report that Ytizhak Dadon, 40, was a “private citizen who had a gun license and was able to shoot the gunman with his pistol,” according to a statement released today by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
In its earlier reporting on the tragedy, WND confirmed, “One terrorist reportedly was shot to death by a student who was armed…”
However, the gun rights organization said “the American press is downplaying his heroism because it proves that armed students can stop campus gunmen.”
“Yitzhak Dadon is a hero,” said Alan Gottlieb, the chairman of CCRKBA, “and he is living proof that armed students have a place on college campuses. Thankfully, his quick action was reported by the international press … so unlike incidents here in the United States where the press was able to completely ignore the actions of armed students or teachers, the truth about this incident will not be suppressed.”
He continued, “Mr. Dadon is not going to become a victim of this conspiracy of silence. Elitist American college administrators, the national press, nor anti-gun politicians can sweep this incident under their rug.”
The gun rights group said international reports credit Dadon, who studies at the school, had his pistol available when the shooting erupted. “When the gunman emerged from a library, Dadon reportedly shot him twice in the head. The gunman was subsequently shot by the off-duty soldier,” the group said.
“Yitzhak Dadon’s apparently well-placed bullets interrupted a rampage,” Gottlieb said. “What a pity that someone like Mr. Dadon was not in class last April at Virginia Tech. What a tragedy that anti-gun extremism would keep him from attending class at Northern Illinois University. He would never be allowed to teach at Columbine High School, hold a job at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, or go shopping at Omaha’s Westroads Mall.
