Two Mexican nationals were arrested in Colorado last month after authorities found them transporting 180,000 rounds of ammunition during a traffic stop, federal officials have announced.

Caesar Ramon Martinez Solis, 41, and Humberto Ivan Amador Gavira, 24, were pulled over on March 26th in Cañon City, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Colorado.

Detectives from Fremont County stopped their white Chevrolet van after it failed to dim its headlights, didn’t signal a turn, and had a broken license plate light, according to an arrest affidavit.

Wherever that ammo was headed, the people waiting for its arrival were up to no good.

He explained that he and Amador Gavira, whom he identified as his brother-in-law, had traveled from Mexico to Denver the day before to look at a vehicle.

They then drove to Salt Lake City, where they stopped at a gun shop, and Amador Gavira bought the ammunition, according to the affidavit.


sounds innocent...............

Is that all? Was it 22 LR or something decent like .50 M2?

I estimate about $50,000 worth, give or take.

Should be easy enough to verify.

No wonder the cost of ammo is so high.

Dang Mexicans.

And as I suspected, the reason they did not mention the caliber was because the facts did not fit their anti-AR15 (aka Merica's Gun™) narrative ...

"Two illegal aliens from Mexico arrested in Colorado for unlawful possession of 180,000 rounds of ammunition; .308 & 7.62 rifle rounds."

Officials said deputies searched the vehicle and ended up finding around 150 boxes of .308 ammunition and another 30 boxes of 7.62 ammunition.

Fremont County authorities said each box was labeled as containing 1,000 rounds of ammo.

back of the envelope, 180,000 rounds of 22lr would be close to 1500 pounds. 9mm would be around 5100 pounds. And then there is the space.

***150 boxes of .308 ammunition and another 30 boxes of 7.62 ammunition.***

Definitely the same unless the 7.62 is 30-06. And not a .223 in sight!

I don't think I have that much, but I would have to count to be sure.

Yeah...I was thinking the reason that they didn’t ...or seemingly didn’t ...dim their headlights was that the ass end of the van was weighted down.

‘ Cinco de Mayo celebration?’

Depends.

How much tequila was found?

Is any available for purchase?
