If I see anyone selling cheap ammo out of a semi trailer, I will be suspicious of my tires and suspension as I load up my truck...

Crime committed in another country? Not my problem.

I mean, damn they sure wanted all that .22 ammo.... does this constitute 'intent to sell across border in USA"?
Where's a reverse Op Fast & Furious when you need it... OH, those horrid cartel guns and ammo flooding over the border...
