FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - The U.S. Attorney’s office said two Mexican nationals are facing charges after thousands of rounds of ammunition were found in their vehicle.

Fremont County deputies said they stopped a vehicle in Canon City on March 26.

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.

The men arrested were identified as 41-year-old Caesar Ramon Martinez Solis and 24-year-old Humberto Ivan Amador Gavira of Mexico.

Both have been charged with unlawful possession of ammunition by an alien admitted under a nonimmigrant visa, officials said.

Authorities said the case is part of Operation Take Back America.

Huh, I had no idea that was a crime.

I'll admit it, I'm impressed.....And here I thought I was hot shit yesterday scoring about 3K rounds of mixed ammo.

In before the illegal immigration bros come in screaming about due process and rights.

Both have been charged with unlawful possession of ammunition by an alien admitted under a nonimmigrant visa, officials said.

So, it was illegal for them to have the ammo.

I don't know anything about guns and ammunition so I have to ask. About how much would 180,000 rounds cost?

The average for 7.62 NATO is $1.00 a round.

And again, there is nothing illegal about them having this ammo.
The arrest was totally illegal.

LOL.....It's a lot easier to take a few seconds to look something up than looking stupid because you didn't.

May a nonimmigrant alien who has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa possess a firearm or ammunition in the United States? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

An alien admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa is prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing a firearm or ammunition unless the alien falls within one of the exceptions provided in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2), such as: a valid hunting license or permit, admitted for lawful hunting or sporting purposes, certain official representatives of a foreign government, or a foreign law enforcement officer of a friendly foreign government entering the United States on official law enforcement business.

It took me longer to format this response than it did to look-up the law.

But there is nothing at all illegal about buying all the ammunition you want.
They had no grounds for stopping them at all, much less arresting them.
There is no legal restrictions on aliens here on a temporary permit.

They are illegal aliens.

Both have been charged with unlawful possession of ammunition by an alien admitted under a nonimmigrant visa, officials said.

That makes the math easy.

But, but, but, rule of law...... they have rights too...... let them have their day in court........

They do indeed.

180 cases at about 30 lbs apiece. Wow must have been going about 18 miles an hour. Where were they going?

Killed the shocks, springs and bent the rear axel. Those weren't his Hi-beams those were his normal lights

 

[Care4all]

They must have gotten one heck of a deal.

Where did they get the ammo from, did the article say?
