Okay, I am not aware of any law about buying and reselling ammo, or buying it for someone else. That said, if the shop is knowingly selling to the cartel, charge them if it is against the law. I would think that ammo going INTO Mexico is a Mexican problem, not an American one anyway.

Oasis is a fantastic store, probably the best outdoor shop within 100 miles. I bought a shotgun from them when I was in Uvalde for a hunting trip, fair pricing and they followed the law for my transaction. They have a restaurant on the property too. I hope the folks that run the place are able to weather the storm.

Would I be surprised if the FIB or CIA runs this gun shop under someone else's name, kind of like Biden is officially the president when we all know he's REALLY not?

No.

Uvalde’s neighboring town of Eagle Pass

I wouldn't call a town that's over sixty miles away a neighboring town.

Dual Lebanese-U.S. Citizen Pleads Guilty to Money Laundering and Tax Offenses
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A dual Lebanese and U.S. citizen who resides in Vienna, Virginia pleaded guilty today to participating in a conspiracy to launder money as part of a decade-long scheme to ship electronics equipment to a Hizballah-owned television station in Lebanon. In addition, the defendant and her husband pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit tax fraud by concealing income from her employment in Virginia.

“For over a decade, Racha Farhat participated in a conspiracy to purchase electronics equipment using the proceeds of illegal activity, which benefited a Lebanese television station owned by Hizballah,” said Raj Parekh, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “Working with our law enforcement partners, we will bring to justice those who use the U.S. financial system to further the interests of prohibited entities that engage in unlawful activities abroad.”

According to court documents, Racha Farhat, 44, began laundering money in 2010 and continued to do so until the time of her arrest in February 2021. The scheme involved Farhat receiving money from an unindicted co-conspirator (UCC-1) in Lebanon, which she used to purchase electronics equipment in the United States. Farhat then shipped the items purchased by herself and other co-conspirators overseas, primarily to Lebanon, where UCC-1 supplied at least $175,000 worth of goods to Al Manar TV. Al Manar TV is a Lebanon-based TV station owned and operated by Hizballah. Both Hizballah and Al Manar TV are prohibited entities for a U.S. person to conduct business with under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

“It’s obviously going to a bad guy to sell, transport or to use it. The general public is not going to buy that much.”

Folks at our gun club by 10 cases at a time pretty often.

10,000 rounds is 20 500 round cases. I have seen more than that stacked up at gun stores quite frequently.

Where did he get the money? Better than $6000.00 in guns and ammo Wendy’s pays that well?

A man who will steal will commit crimes less than stealing but not likely murder people.

A man who plans on killing children usually won’t panic about going 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. Or worry about waiting for his birthday to buy a gun.

Criminals - psychopaths - usually lack the discipline to save $3,000 working a part time job at a fast food joint. Lots of little weirdness’s in the story.
