It won't hold up constitutionally.
You are going to tax ALL gun owners - citizens who are exercising their constitutional right to own guns - to pay for costs incurred by the actions of a few bad eggs who happen to also own guns? Not a chance. This may initially pass, but in the end it will be found unconstitutional.
Don't we already allow sales taxes on guns (in places that have sales taxes) when a gun is purchased?
A sales tax is entirely different thing than an ownership liability tax.
