(That sounds pretty hard core tho.)
It actually a pretty dangerous place sometimes, especially when the relations between the king and Parliment became contentious. One of the triggers for the Civil War was when King Charles sent armed soldiers into the building and attempted to arrest several MP's who disagreed with him. So I can see the armour prohibition being intended to stop similar incidents.
A lot of these laws probably made perfect sense at the time, or for a highly specific case, but instead of being stricken when they became obsolete, they were just forgotten. Still funny, though.

Hey, I'm English too! I think its dead funny! If you want British revenge, type 'dumb laws' into a search engine and hopefully you'll find the website that has hundreds of REALLY dumb American laws. I found those 10 times funnier than these!
Sometimes we Brits have to laugh at ourselves...

Do they have the death penalty for that?
Now that would be rude

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (three percent)
10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (two percent)
those to sound senseibel enoff
i mean if i see a crazy drunk scot out on the town with a bow and arrow well hell id kill him 
but seriously given when these law were likely made they probebly made sense at the time.

We don't have the death penalty here, as we are ethically advanced.

You also have quite a lot of deadly bombings over there for a population of your size. Perhaps if you killed the people who were caught they would A) be less inclined to kill others in the first place B) have no opportunity of getting off the hook and doing it again

I was being sarcastic.
And what about suicide bombers? Do you think we should have the death penalty for them?
