Mexican Bandits Steal 7 Million Rounds of Ammunition

[The Purge]

On 10 June, 2021, it was reported that 7,114,500 rounds of sporting ammunition was stolen in the state of Guanajuato. The value of the ammunition was reported to be over 2.7 million dollars. This correspondent checked the reported value with market conditions in the United States. The value falls within retail prices during the current ammunition bubble.

The event took place near the town of San Luis de la Paz, according to Milenio, here is the translation:

In an unprecedented event, criminals in Guanajuato managed to steal such a quantity of ammunition when they attacked two cargo units that were circulating on Highway 57 near the municipality of San Luis de la Paz, according to information provided by the delegation of the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic in the entity.

The ammunition was being transported inside two semi-trailers, as partial loads in each vehicle. The weight of the ammunition was about four or five tons. A semi-trailer can easily carry 10 tons. Some sources claimed 98.5% of the ammunition was .22 rimfire cartridges. A detailed list from a later source showed about 89% of the cartridges were .22 rimfire.

A Mexican source, regeneracion.mx reported the following quantities of Ammunition were stolen:

• 4,872,000 rounds of high velocity Long Rifle cartridges, solid point
• 1,230,000 rounds of high velocity Long Rifle hollow point cartridges
• 295,000 rounds of .40 S&W pistol cartridges
• 215,000 rounds of .22 caliber L.R. Super Colibri garden loads
• 117,000 rounds of .45 auto cartridges

Box of 50 long rifle shells is under $20 a box.... be sure to look for DEALS on eBay in the near future!

Now you know why there is an ammo shortage.

No big thing, just a few happy-go-lucky pistoleros having fun. Sort of like Americans smashing pumpkins on Halloween with no regard to the hours of concentration and care by fathers and their children.

 

[JGalt]

Over 1.5 million "bullets" were stolen in South Africa too. I wonder if they also stole the powder, primers, and cases to go with those "bullets"?

Over 1.5 Million Bullets Looted in South Africa Unrest.

Hopefully the plan is to just smuggle it into this country and sell it to make money.

IF the cartels did that to have ammo, whoa, that's a lot of killing.

Sounds like it must be a joy to be white in SA

What a beautiful country it once was until they let that creature out and look at the place now

Don't worry they'll be fleeing to the border

Why sell to the gangbangers? The ammo shortage is a really big problem for plenty of regular people.

They could sell to people with real money, in good sized lots, all across the country.

I'm here to ta' tell ya' that there is what 'cha call a bonafide fact!

Looks like there is plenty for all.......lololol

Vast supply is needed to pick off savages

Soon we will be a Tombstone Territory like the TV show

Criminals have a hard time buying ammo in Illinois. Not many of the have FOID cards, and they'd be willing to pay more for illicit ammo.

Hell no. The best way for a wet-back to go undetected is to look like an American and not to stand out. Packing all of that ammo no one will ever suspect they's furners. Least ways not in Texas!

Both Mexico and South Africa have very strict gun laws

Apparently those laws only disarm law abiding citizens

 

[xband]

Most was .22 long rifle ammo. Biden's going to have another hissy fit with all of that ammo headed here.

Now you know why there is an ammo shortage.

JGalt probably won't even notice it's missing until he takes inventory.

I just looked at my stash and saw that I don't really have all that much. Probably 3k rounds of 9mm handloads, but I've been shooting 50 rounds rounds every evening at the steel targets. Time to make a run to the reloading store.

It's ALL headed to California, where you need to pass a background check to buy ammo. Since Democrats...uh, I mean criminals, can't pass a BG check, they have to buy ammo on the street.
