The hostage situation in Russia could never have happened if the theatregoers were armed and prepared to protect themselves. British firearms control is even stricter. If Blair really feels that Britain is serious at threat from so called international terrorism (and because of our support for the US we now are) then his first task should be to ensure that all obstacles possible are placed in the way of terrorists. Most British firearms legislation should be removed or at the very least people should be allowed to carry concealed weapons so that they can protect themselves.
