I disagree with the above part. Employment does not suspend constituional rights. I do however absolutely object to the gov't claiming a monoply on the use of force and, as I said, civilian gov't employees being granted exemptions to 2A restrictions to which the citizens they police are subject.but as long as they are on government duty they should not be armed with lethal force. once they are not on government duty then the 2ndA applies. no government employee should have lethal force
I specificy civilian employees as the military is obviously subject to an entirely different set of rules in UCMJ.
