The Pitman Robinson act is fairly popular even among gun owners. That money goes to conservation which allows hunters to hunt game and allows for state agencies to establish shooting ranges for the general public.

This tax seems to be to finances a crime victims fund. A noble end but tied to firearms, peaceable gun owners may be apt to be offended at a perceived implications that they ought to pay for the wrongs cause by criminals.
