I get the point you are trying to make and agree but if you read the proposed bill the money collected is supposed to be directed at safety education as it relates to firearms.

It actually contains many things most of us would not like or agree to. Such as all sales have to go through a dealer. Minimum age to buy a gun is 21. A license is required to own and purchase including ammo. Safe storage requirements for guns. No shotgun can have more than 5 round capacity. A ban on suppressors and mufflers. Assault weapon ban as defined. That is just a few of the things I remember, it's very long and contains a lot of restrictions and requirements. It's all here if you care to read it.
