I can only speak for myself in saying it's better to have and not need than to need and not have ETC !!!
And they'll likely issue them a ticketLooks like these boys were caught transporting 180k rounds, possibly from Utah to Pueblo:

Well our cops should have some range ammo for awhile. I agree, the whole thing seems a little too staged. Most drug busts on I-80 are not “routine traffic stops”. I’m wondering if they bought it all from 1 store or several. Some dude who can’t speak English buys $100k in ammo, probably pays cash, yeah good one.There's a fair chance that the seller tipped LE off and the stop was made to look run of the mill?
I've paid taxes for 40 yearsI don't know what the answer is, but I am not in favor pf another 'card' that says I am allowed to buy ammo. Soon, every citizen (almost) will have a "Real I.D.". proof of citizenship is required to get that. As it stands now, you need to 'prove' you are 21 to buy handgun ammo, and 18 to buy rifle/shotgun ammo. Neither requires proof of citizenship, just shows age. A farmer is required (in OK) to show "Agricultural Permit" to buy things for the farm with no tax and the seller needs to have a copy of that permit. A company buying for re-sale needs to supply the seller with a copy of his tax permit, neither show citizenship. A government issued and current I.D. is required to vote in any election in OK. That does show citizenship but no copy is kept by the voting official doing the checking (soon, as the "real i.d." gets phased in, it WILL show citizenship). As per current law, age is the only restriction when buying ammo. Would a 'questionable' transaction alert me? Yes. I have shut down several firearms sales/transactions because I was not comfortable with the transaction. Cost me $$$ every time. If I've had a question about age during an ammo sale, I have asked for I.D. to be certain. Maybe a sale of XXXX number of rounds in a transaction should require positive I.D. (Real I.D. or passport). Not up to me to "make the rules'. As it is, multiple handgun sale requires a report form. I still maintain any ammo purchase by a non-citizen or legal immigrant be rewarded with a one way trip to El Salvador. Make the punishment harsh enough, few would risk it. American Citizens are already burdened enough 'proving' they are who they say they are. I donknow, placing more record keeping and more reporting on the seller will increase prices.
And there's a fair chance this was orchestrated by our government...There's a fair chance that the seller tipped LE off and the stop was made to look run of the mill?
Your not far from the truth, brother......Right out of one of the RussianAnd there's a fair chance this was orchestrated by our government...
Nothing like promoting a situation to create more CONTROL...
The FBI already tried that with straw purchased guns and it was a disaster.Why can’t they just let them roll on and put a tracking device on the vehicle. Might actually learn something that way.
