One thing I am sure about in all this is that when armed loonies are on the loose you don't want your police in a briefing session. It appears in the UK that this is just what we do, and when they have been through the first, we send them on a second. I suspect a "new" terrorist tactic will be to draw in unprepared cops in order to start a gun battle. I'd tend to feed them the anti-gun lobby first, at least after we'd run out of politicians.
