mikey, bear in mind that a convited killer was found in the grounds of Buckingham Palace the other day.

[mikey4444]

jno.....yes, but he wasn't armed.

And you think a terrorist or ciminal or nut cant get a gun in the UK then Mickey?

[mikey4444]

Yes, of course he could , but its considerably easier to do so in America.

I am merely pointing out that a nutcase running amok with a gun is far more likely in the States, than it is here, and isn't really such surprising news.

Both the White House and Buck House would appear to have protection methods in place, that work.
