I know a great way for him to get lots of publicity for very little. Set up a charity to buy .22 revolvers and ammo for those who live in poor, high crime areas.

Bought in bulk, such revolvers can be as little as $100-120 each, and a box of cheap .22 ammo is about $10. Then engrave on each “Property of (the charity). Return for reward. Not for resale.”

For just $10,000, it would be enough to give a revolver and ammo to about 65 people. In a poor neighborhood, guess that maybe 1 house in 4 can both legally have a gun, and want one. So figure a coverage area of 250 homes or more.

That is about the same territory that would be covered by a single policeman. And just one year’s training and pay for them would cost four to five times as much as providing them with guns.

I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around .22 ammo
being “cheap” at $10 a box...

Huh? He’s already done so.
