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.

The selective application of the laws of the United States is pure hypocrisy...uh, how about prosecuting those who ILLEGALY ENTER into the United States?....no they are expempt from obeying THOSE LAWS.
Mexicans are exempt from laws that interfere with getting their votes and campaign contributions...

. . . after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers said they found 19 boxes of .22-caliber ammunition and about 2,500 rounds of .38 Super ammunition concealed in soft drink boxes in the vehicle she was driving. I know this is more of a "Friday"-type comment, but I find this attractive, in a way.

ICE can find 'em leaving, but are blind to those coming this direction.

Ok, I can understand if she was caught IMPORTING... I can understand if she was trying to export ORDANANCE, or maybe even arms.... but ammunition?
Why is this a crime and why a felony?
To: SwinneySwitch
Well, if the rounds were .223 or 5.56, then I would say.. yeah we may have a case.. But .22 and .38? Please....

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.

Great we can stop .22 ammo from going to Mexico but we can't stop ... Oh never mind.

What a dumb broad. If she had been taking suitcases full of data on our advanced military systems to our friends in China she would have been a successful corporate leader.

Factoid of information for los aficionados: Why do you so often see .38 super or 9mm Largo or some other off-caliber in many Spanish-speaking countries, instead of the cheap and ubiquitous 9mm auto?
Because their laws once prohibited owning firearms or ammunition of military caliber, hence the need for something other than 9mm/.45/5.56 which were reserved for government only.
Ruger even made a small run of Mini-14s in .222 Remington caliber to test the export market. Colt made several 1911 models in .38 super with names like "el Toro" etc.
