By what mechanism?

Simple.

As you increase the cost of an activity, you reduce the number of
participants.

At a minimun, the number of "Saturday night specials" sold will be reduced
since the cost of ammo for it would more than double the cost of a usable
weapon.

Any other of the amendments to the Constitution that you'd like to eliminate
by back door processes? Maybe let the press have their printing presses but
tax ink at $1,000,000 / gal? Or maybe a $1,000 tax at the door of your
church to get in.
