Fair enough. I agree with your comment that at some point there’s going to be a shootout with SWAT if this happened, regardless of approach. Financial disincentives perhaps? Make it prohibitively expensive to buy ammunition?

Maybe tax the shit out of ammo and make the tax 100% fund hormone replacement therapy; or just something else nice to do for trans-folks…

Maybe more appropriately, towards mental health services. And the circle is complete.

I don’t think that the tax going on to pay for mental health services would act to disincentivize or dissuade from the purchase of ammo; it would be quite useful though. Maybe that’s better.
