Illegals moving ammunition through Colorado and Wyoming

[Great-Kazoo]

I read the story about the 2 Mexicans caught with the 180000 rounds the day after it happened and since then I've been wondering the same things.

They were on their way to an invite only, machine gun shoot. That's what my attorney would say. If i needed one, hypothetically of course.

Another failed group buy?

Too soon?

Also, did they pay the 6.5% ammo and guns tax?

WHO sold it to them???

That’s the question.

For me, the question is who were they transporting it for? The Iranians, the Chicoms, the Ruskies, or the Mexican mob?

This is the exact reason we need ammo purchase limits.

Coming Soon!

So about a quarter of a million dollars worth? That is alot of AR10 & AK bangfeed. I can't wait retire to a safe swamp somewhere.

No, no, no, I have a better idea. A FOID card requirement!

In interviews with investigators, the men said that they entered the U.S. last month and purchased the ammunition at an unidentified gun store in Salt Lake City.
They told investigators that the bullets were destined for Pueblo, Colorado.

The U.S. Attorney?s office in Colorado said in a press release that the case is now part of Operation Take Back America, which aims ?to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.?

I too, really strongly they were pulled over for bright headlights. That specifically is an arbitrary allegation that is very difficult to disprove if someone has a dashcamera. It's also quite petty, not something most officers would pull someone over for.

It's an ideal reason to pull over what one simply feels is a "suspicious vehicle/person" whether tipped in advance, or not.

While I agree that failure to dim brights is "one of about 1000 random reasons" to be pulled over, it does happen in real life.

More likely to actually happen, than just be listed as the reason on the report, if the attending officer(s) flashed their brights multiple tmes as they appproached each other with no response from the civilian. Sometimes, the officer's attitude/mood plays a huge factor.

I wasn't there, so I don't know what actually happened in this situation, but real world experience of an immediate family member confirms the above scenario. Officer involved in that one had absolutey zero chill (female deputy with a huge attitude) .

Reasonable point. They definately have no chill there. I think it's my only ticket in decades... and they wrote it for going 2mph over. (no exaggeration, several years ago). I'm also wondering where the ammunition came from. Warehouse workers, fedex, sporting goods stores, all sorts of places have employees that might just call in a tip and a plate if a van of espanol loads up $250,000 in ammo. But who knows, maybe a mule aquired it a few at a time in advance, which may be more likely.
