   The police who patrol Parliament have guns.   
   If he had chosen a civilian target then chances are there would not   
   have been any armed officers present and the attacker could have   
   killed until a tactical unit (also allowed to carry guns) arrived.   
   Brits apparently believe that their government officials' lives are   
   that much more valuable and worth protecting than the average citizen.
