Not even a "sin tax" since IMHO it is only an effort to control consumption that prevents actual drunkenness (which some folks generally accept as a problem) buying either a gun or a mag does, no matter how many or how large, is only considered a problem by a small (and sometimes unreasonable) faction.

Such a tax is no more a "sin tax" than a semi-auto rifle with a bayonet lug, removable mag and adjustable stock is an "assault rifle". And yes absolutely such a tax would be unconstitutional.
