Of course, you wouldn’t take a .22 and neither would gangbangers or cartel. The question was how do they sell it. My thinking was selling it en masse to some large retailer they have an in with or an ownership stake in. Otherwise it’s gun shows or the internet and in modern day America they’d be asking to be caught.
This was never about the cartels using 22s. It’s about an ammo theft via hijacking a cargo truck used by the manufacturer to transport this stuff to the U.S.
And I have no idea how they’d go about peddling it.
