Few of the comments were a little disturbing.

Dalmation: "Scaring gullible dumb people for years is finally paying off big time for the gun industry ( and their flunky Congressional supporters ) . Oh well , so be it . We’re ( the sane adults ) going to tax high powered ammunition ( and reloading supplies as well ) so highly and punitively that within a decade or so all an AK 47 will be good for is a door stop . Enjoy your ( expensive , but well built ) door stops ."

So they want to price home defense out of the budget of most people? Not to mention, what's considered high powered? I would think the 180gr rounds fired from my .300 Win short mag have a lot more power than a 7.62x39 or 5.56 NATO round.
