"U.S. Navy ships confiscated a massive Iranian shipment of 1,400 AK-47 rifles and 226,600 rounds of ammunition on Monday from a fishing vessel in the Arabian Sea, the service first revealed late Wednesday. Afterward, the Navy sank the vessel.

THIS is what should have to NGO boats ferrying illegal aliens anywhere in the world: stop, board, confiscate anything salvageable, remove illegals and return them to port of exit, sink boat, fine NGO.
Now put them on sale in the US! (I wish)
But BY GOLLY, they got these 1400 rifles!!!
Sounds like the real work was done by US Coast Guard

Kind of a joke since we left billions in arms and equipment in Afghanistan.
*No, I checked first. Iran makes AK’s.*
Thanks-I stand corrected. So who should we give them to?
Yep. We are now the laughing stock in the world.
I will sacrifice myself to adopt that poor orphaned ammo.
I am a truly caring individual and will insure that this ammo has a loving home for the rest of its life.
That’s how many they fire into the air anytime Allah farts in their direction.
