"Thommen confuses the need to carry a weapon as a part of the job, with the right to bear arms. The right to bear arms was earned for all of us by our forefathers; we do not need to re-earn that right at a police academy. It is the government that must earn the right to limit our constitutional rights; those rights are a citizen's to lose by wrongful conduct."
