How do I clone a tool to a player using a GUI?

How do I clone a tool to the player using a GUI? I'm making an admin panel that has options to select tools, but I don't know how to script it correctly. I tried the code in both a LocalScript and Script. Both didn't work, is there something I'm doing incorrectly? Here's my code, for you to correct it:

-- This is a LocalScript inside of a GUI button -- 
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
    local Taser = game.ServerStorage.Taser:Clone()
    Taser.Parent = plr.Backpack
end)

I also tried doing

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

but to no avail. Please help!

LocalScripts cannot access ServerStorage, that container belongs to the opposite end of the Network. ServerScripts don't operate in local environments, they're not meant to control the Client; you're facing a FE conflict, to successfully achieve your goal, you'll need to apply RemoteEvents.

You can also just put your tools in the Replicated Storage instead of Server Storage. Dr_Smartypants123 86 — 3y

For one, you're identifying an object to the script ending with an action: local Taser = game.ServerStorage.Taser:Clone()

It should be: local Taser = game.ServerStorage.Taser

Try local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr) local Taser = game.ServerStorage.Taser Taser:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack end)

Wont necessarily solve your problem but here's hoping. :)
