I wonder how the democrats feel about this? They probably let them on and this was probably not meant for good intentions. Considering each case is roughly $900-$1,000 depending on what it was this is no small investment.

The article headline says about 180,000 rounds. But the actual article says they confiscated 450 boxes,- each containing about 1,000 rounds???

450,000 rounds a hell of a lot more than 180,000! WTF?

“Officials said deputies searched the vehicle, finding around 150 boxes of .308 ammunition and about 30 boxes of 7.62 ammunition. They said each box was labeled as containing 1,000 rounds.”

Adds up for me. I use real math, though, not DOGE math. :beer:

Damn cataracts! When I read the article this morning, I swear it read 150 and 300, - not 30 cases! Oh well!

This the 2nd time in several months that a vehicle/ vehicles driven by Mexican nationals were stopped by authorities that had hundreds of thousands of .308 & 7.62x39 ammo .
I’m pretty sue that story was posted on here somewhere.

The headline of arresting two men with 180,000 rounds of ammo did not impress me.

Why would having a decent cache of ammo be a newsworthy crime since it's really easy to go through more than a thousand rounds on a family range day?

Looks like the round count was not the issue, since it's reported the arrest was based on the possession of ammunition by an alien admitted across the border under a nonimmigrant visa. OK that makes sense.

To me, IT LOOKS LIKE THE REAL CRIME IS TWO IDIOTS DRIVING AROUND IN A CHEAP ASS VAN CARRYING OVER A 9000 POUND PAYLOAD.

This article made me take an inventory of my own cache ......... I do not have 180,000 rounds, but I do have more than 2 boxes.
What about you?

The U.S. Attorney’s office said two Mexican nationals were charged on Wednesday after around 180,000 rounds of ammunition were found in their vehicle.

The sad part was authorities made the two explain the purchase to their wives.

I'm not questioning the amount or validity of the story, but the Math calls it into question: If that 180,000 rounds were .22lr that would be about (35) cases of 5K which weighs roughly 35 pounds, times 35 cases is 1,250 pounds...in a Car.
Wonder if this isn't from one of the Aguila heists from a year or two back?

OK, the article finally loaded and I was able to read the story: I WAS WRONG AND POSTED MY THOUGHTS INSTEAD OF PUBLISHED FACTS....I'M A DUMBASS.
