A sales tax is entirely different thing than an ownership liability tax.
It's a "user" tax/fee. See my above on fuel taxes. Use causes damages; damages incur costs; tax/fee goes to defray those costs.
Fuel taxes for everyone make sense because we all, more or less equally, use fuel and cause the damage associated with its use. When’s the last time you — or anybody you know to own a gun — used it to cause damage?

When was the last time you - or anybody you know who owns a car - caused an underground storage tank leak?
Do fuel sales tax revenues go toward paying for underground storage tank leaks? I wasn't aware of that.
(Hint: Because they don't.)

Yep, missed that one.
