Higher fees and taxes to could go to lower the fees for the poor. Maybe even subsidize the price of guns and ammo. Heck, I'd be thrilled to get a new gun if the rest of you paid for it!

In reality, I wouldn't accept such a thing as I really don't need a firearm. Just as I turned down new windows and doors for my place offered by the local community action. I can pay for that myself over a period of a couple of years if I really watch what I spend my money on and budget about $100 a month for that.
