Just say that everyone who wants to own a gun has to join a militia.
It's the only reason we have a Second Amendment.
A militia is utterly different from an LEO. A sheriff could absolutely deputize militia members, but a militia, by the design of the framers, has no ability to enforce the law, but exist to protect the citizenry from threats without. But you certainly knew that, right?
EDIT: As an aside, we saw what happened when that little experiment was tried in CHOP. It's almost like being an LEO is a bit more difficult than having a gun and patrolling the community.
