Ammunition gets smuggled to Mexico.

It is nothing new.

The cartels have multiple sources for ammunition.

Right now you could probably make as much money selling it hear as you could over the border.

Have you seen what it costs to get brass 9 millimeter from anyone who actually has it? And that’s the target stuff. Our local gun shop gets a few cases in periodically and puts it out at $20 a box, limit one box per family. Now actually that’s cheaper than most any place online that you can find it. So I’m not complaining that they’re greedy. I’m surprised he’s able to get it. But self-defense ammo? Holy smokes. I am glad I prepared quite some time ago.

Although the price has gone up, it’s not through the roof for AK-47 ammo. And it’s pretty available. So I kind of chuckle at the people who think that an AK-47 is a club masquerading as a gun compared to their tricked out sophisticated stuff. It may not be high tech, but it works a lot better with ammunition then the other stuff does without.

What’s more newsworthy is the billion more not caught.

The cartels have much more reliable sources, consisting of the Mexican government itself, and worldwide sources from failed states and other governments. Attempting to choke off their weapon supply with border controls is a losing game.

Losing game? Maybe if you wear a badge and have free access to police department stockpiles it's a losing game. But, how about just catching that ammo at the border so the common man in the US can have access to buy it? Have you seen the availability and price for 9mm lately?
