They’re Coming for Your Guns
By Brian S. Stewart
Tucked into the final paragraph, a recent story in U.S. News and World Report highlighted the Washington D.C. Police Gun Recovery Unit, a unit of about two dozen officers whose mandate is exactly as it sounds:

CCRKBA says press purposely downplays key role of armed student in Jerusalem
An armed student at Jerusalem’s Mercaz Haray seminary played a crucial role in stopping a gun-wielding terrorist Thursday, but the American press is downplaying his heroism because it proves that armed students can stop campus gunmen, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

“Yitzhak Dadon is a hero,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and he is living proof that armed students have a place on college campuses. Thankfully, his quick action was reported by the international press, including Mr. Lefkovitz, 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.
