I guess LL is a literalist.
Yes, you can own a gun in London but the hoops that have to be jumped through, fees that have to paid, IF you qualify to do so pretty much render London a gun free zone.
Do the police have guns in London (you better tell Pierce Morgan) yes, they do but not all of them. True. But there are officers on foot patrol with weapons. But most are still not armed.
This is a photo of a tactical unit (you know like a SWAT team) and not the regular Bobbie. Don't know what you mean by "regular Bobbie" ... there are officers on foot patrol with weapons regular bobbies--you know those tall guys with the funny looking helmets and peculiar accents like the guy who shooed me off the second floor across from Buckingham Palace.
Why did it take 20 minutes for someone with a weapon to respond? He was near a military barracks .. which is where he was headed. what does his location, or this, have to do with anything? The fact is that it took the police 20 minutes to respond to a bloody attack in broad daylight.
Give me a country where people walk around armed and these guys wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes much less to make a porno. They had already run him over with a car and in less than 10 seconds a person is dead with a meat cleaver. Nothing would have saved this solder but that was not the point of what I said, I am talking about taking this bastards out to protect the public and prevent their escape... and maybe some revenge.
So to conclude; there is a small, very small likelihood that a English citizen will be armed during a terrorist attack. See below. I didn't include the picture but that is about how many guns you can find in a small American town. I'm not impressed with a staged photo where all the weapons were probably collected over a large area.
For above: I didn't see one word about Obama. Why did you think of him suddenly? Something that someone said that made YOU think of Obama? I think I mentioned Nigeria and someone may have mentioned another country that used to be a crown colony but you thought of Obama for some reason. You know something, or think something, that we don't know?
