Why is this a crime and why a felony? Isn't it a violation of export laws?
To: Oztrich Boy
Wal*Mart often sells .22 cal ammunition loose-packed in a small box containing 550 rounds ... 19 * 550 + 2500 = 12950 ... awfully close to 13000.

Is it considered exporting it you are both, the shipper and receiver? The article doesn't mention of anyone actually receiving the ammunition. It does mention that the woman purchased the ammo and was going home with it.
I dunno, not familiar with the law... just seems wierd.

26 bricks of .22 LR? I'm thinking I have that much stashed in the basement. The .38 Super is a little curious. It's a very popular competition caliber but a little light (and loud) for nefarious purposes. My guess is that this stuff was for sale and that this was a genuine smuggler who had a specific customer in mind.

Taking her own legal personal property out of the country should not be a crime. Out of the country? That's nothing. Try taking your legally-owned personal property into New York City or Chicago. You'd be charged just the same.

No FOID Card. Second, ammunition bought without a FOID is a crimeNo such thing as FOID card in the free states. You must be from one of the nasty little police states in the northeast or the nastly little corrupt dictatorship called Illinois.

19 @ 500 gives 9500 + 2500 =12000 Did she admit to another 1000 that they didn't find?Actually you can buy 22 in 550 round boxes. I go through two of them at a time.
So 19x550 = 10450 + 2500 = 12950. Close enough for gov't work.

Beat me by 4 minutes. Guess that's what I get for taking a phone call while I'm posting.

Great we can stop .22 ammo from going to Mexico but we can't stop ... Oh never mind.
To: vetvetdoug
13,000 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition.. That is about one month of weekend plinking for many normal US citizens or about one hour of squirrel hunting.
13,000 rounds an hour squirrel hunting? Maybe it would be cheaper to call in some airburst artillery and just pick the squirrel bits off the ground when the fire mission is done.

"Finally, does anyone not believe this was intended to re-supply drug cartel muscle? Please."
Drug cartel goons would be laughed out of town were they seen sporting .22 pistols. Last time I was in mexico, I saw that local law enforcement was carrying HK-91 battle rifles. Shooting a .22 at one of those guys would be like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Neither .22 or 38 super is the weapon of choice in such circles. Not even close.
PS - I have bought more ammo than that. Don't even know what a FOID card is.

.38 Super is (used to be?) fairly popular in Mexico, where 9mm Para and .45 ACP are banned as "military calibers".

Cool. I own a blueprint of the old Fat Man nuclear bomb that we dropped on Nagasaki (hangs on the wall in my shop). I suppose you'll have no complaints if I take it with me on my vacation to Central America next summer.
/sarc (obviously)
The US has the right to regulate the exportation of any information or material that can be used against us either criminally or militarily. This means that my blueprint shouldn't be taken outside of the country, and neither should these 13,000 rounds of ammunition. Since most firearms in Mexico are owned either by drug smugglers (MS13) or communist rebels (Chiapas), the US has a very real interest in stopping the illicit exportation of ammunition to that country.

I saw that place on Mail Call. The night time shooting looked pretty cool. Tracer rounds all over the place.
