Increase Taxes on Firearms for State Social Programs

I have started a petition on We the People via Whitehouse.org to increase already existing taxes on firearms and ammo to specifically raise funds for state safety, education, and mental health programs. We need 150 signatures for it to be published on Whitehouse.org's We the People site and then 25,000 in 30 days for the administration to review it. Link is here: http://wh.gov/nTrv

Why is this important?
