How many more would have died if there were no armed person nearby. Americans must have the right to bear arms, whether for fighting crime or terrorism. In states where licensing is required, take the trouble to get your license--while you still can! While doing so, do what you can to oppose licensing requirements (and the irrational delays that tend to accompany them) to reduce crime and terrorism. Let's learn from the Israelis' example. The only way to deal with maniacal criminals, including Islamic madmen, is with force. We cannot realize safety by trying to make them like us.

Once again, peace through supperior firepower!

Three cheers for the soldier and the Jerusalem Post. It must be wonderful to have a clear thinking newpaper that didn't use the dreaded "Assault Rifle" term but used the correct Service Rifle description.

Done it. Concealed carry, large capacity.

My wife bought me a Ruger Police Service Six .357 Magnum for my birthday, and I never leave homewithout it. 158 grain Hydra-shock Plus-P hollow points round out the ensemble... quite effectively.

Fore-armed is fore-armed.

as an old COL of MPs once told all MPOB classes, "you will probably never need a pistol but once in your career, but that ONE TIME you will need it BADLY!". 'Nuff said!

There are several things we could learn from the Israelis, and bearing arms is but one of their better ideas.

It ended when Sgt. Ramin Rosenblatt, 20, shot Ayash dead with his service rifle, having been called out from the garage where his car was being fixed by the sound of gun fire.

He heard the sound of gunfire... and he ran toward it

Bump for Israel, Bump for RKBA, Bump for Dead Terrorists!

I think it may be time for a "trunk gun". Maybe a shorty Russian SKS? Much more effective than a handgun, economical, and rugged to survive life in the trunk.

[PsyOp]

If this happened in America, Ayash would be arrested for (at the very least) public endangerment. After defending himself against sundry criminal charges, he would be sued by the family of the terrorist and a pro-bono ACLU lawyer who would strip him of whatever assets remained after defending himself from the government. Child protective services would probably take his kids from him to protect them from his violent influence. Continue in this vein ad nauseum.

And notice how the soldier didn't "shoot to wound"....

Dead men cease firing.

There's peace through superior firepower, and there's also peace through well-placed firepower.

Bravo to this young man for doing his duty!

America owes her independence to men who understood very clearly the need for an armed and weapons skilled civilian population. What was clear in Washington's time is no less clear today. (See The Right To Keep & Bear Arms.)

At this moment I am going through the steps of applying for a hand gun permit in New York. Holy shit! You gotta move all Heaven and Earth to get one here!
