Weirdest error of all time, "attempt to index upvalue 'player'(a nil value)?

I have a GUI that gives a player a tool but it cant do it with FE on so I decided to use a RemoteEvent to trigger it and then give it to the player.

Here is the script(Located unter ServerScriptService)

local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local givetool = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

givetool.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
	local weapon1 = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("Thompson")
	weapon1:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
	weapon1:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
end)

Here is the local script (Located under StarterGui.SurfaceGUI)

local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local givetool = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local button = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Play")

button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	givetool:FireServer()
end)

The local script fires after pressing a button and then it triggers but it errors where it says "weapon1:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack. It says basically cant upvote player because its a nil value.
