this is from the show "Border Wars." It's a 4 minute video that shows a truck modified to carry ammo. The ammo was just loose in the bed.

If you've got 4 minutes to kill, it's interesting.

Wow. I wonder how much that weighed? I'd think a few hundred pounds at least, right?

When I saw the guy reversing, I thought he was going to do Mexican style unloading. Reverse fast and slam the brakes [ROFL1].

Like he says at the end, that's just one truck that they actually found... imagine what gets through all the time that they don't catch or even know about? I'll bet it's like drugs, we only catch roughly 5-10%.

Wow good thing the Boarder Patrol gets to use bean bags. Thats freaking crazy and sad. Wonder why the ammo prices keep going up?

That looks like the floor boards in my pick up!

No wonder they have been out of TulAmmo 7.62 at Walmart![Tooth]

Weak sauce ammo stash. I shoot more than that in a weekend.

Just goes to show how expensive ammo is to get down there. when they are putting loose rounds below a bed liner and a ton of tools etc, that seems pretty desperate to me.

I was pretty surprised BP was using shovels to scrape ammo from the bed of the truck.

Truck was registered to some guy named Eric Holder.

with a 2008 Obama sticker, but not one for 2012.

I'd have paid that smuggler like $100 more than the Border patrol gave him for that truckload, and there wouldn't have been any legal risk.

I wish I had to use a shovel to move my ammo. Damn.

Prior to that truck crossing into Mexico, what law/s have been broken, if any?

I wondered that as well. Probably intent.

More than likely they will never find the registered owner, or that person is already dead.
