Huge Weapons Shipment Seized At Port

They misspelled "hugh." This could be series...VEY SERIES!

[chance33_98]

DOH! My Bad :)

[Joe Brower]

Perhaps of interest. The ChiComs smuggling arms to Latin America? Naw, couldn't be.

[kellynla]

Central America? Would that be Chicago or St. Louis?

[Tai_Chung]

The CBP said the shipment was bound for Central America, and originated in the People's Republic of China.

Which Central American country?

Is it possible for there to be a "Huge Weapons Shipment" from China without the consent of the Chinese government?

[NorseWood]

Were these weapons to be stored near Panama?

Freelancers could organize their own deal and pocket the proceeds for themselves instead of PLA, Inc. getting it.

Depends on how you define "government". China has a very old and active smuggler tradition, and plenty of organized crime. So yeah, probably customs inspectors and others are bribed to look the other way. But that is not the same as policy.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Is this considered illegal, or merely a curiosity?

(There are LOTS of weapons imports from China to the US. LOTS.)

.......inspectors seized more than 700 handguns, 900 magazines, and 450 shotguns from a container at the port on June 28.

?.....this 'throw-down' catch from China is a bad 'joke', right?

Maybe, the real shipment.....700,000...900,000........450,000.........got through undetected?

THAT.....would be 'huge'.

IMO

[Kudsman]

IMO, China = communists = enemy of the US. The sooner the average Joe figures this out the sooner we get to put an end to the real puppeteers.

[kellynla]

Won't get any argument out of me. I had enough experience and saw the intelligence first hand in Nam to know who was backing the NVA and the VC.

[RicocheT]

Huge?? What's so huge about 700 handguns, 900 magazines, and 450 shotguns. Most mid-size police departments have more firearms in inventory.

If I went to a weekend gun show that had as few as this number, I'd feel I wasted my time. Huge to Ma Brady maybe as she wants them all banned and confiscated.

[ladtx]

Those weapon smugglers are such loosers.

[Sender]

There's more to this story than what's in the article. Was this a legal shipment between the Chinese and some central American country or business? The Chicoms export weapons legally all the time. If so, why were they seized...just because the ship parked in Portland on the way? I would hope that there was some illegal component to this shipment. Golly gee, handguns and shotguns. That sounds dangerous! Why, they could hit any American city from 20 yards away!

[maestro]

You ARE correct!!

[Taipei Personality]

Bang!
