Thread: 268,000 rounds of ammo seizure

i bet the border patrol agent will be given amnesty. so much corruption in our law enforcement. when you have janet napolitian as head of our law enforcement and a pro amnesty then you have a conflict of interest, she should be fired for her job performance, our borders are a joke as far as mexico goes. but you take a cruise and see how many times you see customs, dont know why us citizens are harrassed on cruises while illegal immigrants can come and go as they please. we had to get up at 6 am to go see customs on our cruise, my father has parkinsons and couldnt go but they harrassed him the whole cruise to see customs, when they could of went to his room, but that was to easy. we had to have passports and everything to get on the cruise and we were checked like crazy when we came back in...go figure, guess since they cant enforce laws on illegals might as well harrass legal citizens,,what a job

Mexican news outlets identified the arrested driver as Bogan Jabin Akeem, 37, of Dallas.

Mexico US border ammunition shipment seized

Mexico wants the US to restrict the flow of weapons and ammunition across the border

Mexican police say they have seized more than 250,000 bullets that were being smuggled into the country from the US.

The ammunition for assault rifles was found on a trailer driven across the border from Texas into Ciudad Juarez.

The driver - a 37-year-old man from Dallas, Texas - was detained.

Mexico says many of the weapons used by violent drugs gangs come from the US. It wants tighter controls on weapons sales north of the border.

The driver told customs officials he had nothing to declare when he arrived at the border, Mexican prosecutors said.

But an x-ray inspection of his cargo hold revealed the metal boxes holding the ammunition.

In total 268,000 bullets for AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles were seized, Ciudad Juarez border control official Juan Ramon Huerta said.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has repeatedly called for the US to implement stricter firearms laws to cut the supply of weapons to drugs cartels.

Around 50,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since President Calderon began deploying troops to fight the cartels in 2006.

Mexico needs to step up and monitor it's own security and take care of it's own citizens and stop being a leech on the US. JMO

Fast&Furious was all about pumping weapons into the hands of Mexican cartels. If Mexico were serious about doing something about it, they would put their (corrupt) political machine to work at exposing Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, and Barack Obama's involvement in F&F, and NOT the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution.

wonder if any of this ammo was the ammo Nappy has been buying up? I know let's ask Mr. Issa
