Absolutely not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Fede...

~ 10% is fine (although those of us who don't hunt want more ranges built with this money, which is happening).

Amount that are clearly so much they're intended to hamper access are unconstitutional. Ones that are structured differently have been held unconstitutional: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vo...
