SGAMMO canceling orders for 7.62x39mm and .50 BMG in TX border country

I’d like to know how they discerned it was from buyers in South TX? If they know that, hopefully they know who and the investigation of those smugglers is already underway…. If they don’t know who, could it not also be cartel related personnel in NM, AZ or CA? Is it just a very isolated region/location inside Mexico where their ammo has been found?

The ATF budget is 1.5 billion.
Border Patrol Budget is 16 billion.

They have the resources to trace on-line ammo sales.

The article qouted them as saying............ ".....We've had to deal with countless federal investigations on clients in the area recently ................"
So the Feds are or have been approaching them requesting information about Customers in that "area" (South Texas)........................
Clearly the "Feds" are conducting investigations and that brings them to SG Ammo and their accounts.


OP:
I've been a customer for years now. Great service and pretty good prices.
But I'm not under any Federal investigations........... that I know of.

I have purchased from them. Great service. I'm glad they are being responsible although I feel for the likewise responsible shooters in the area. On the other hand, if SGA cuts the cartels out of the equation, it should mean a lot more ammunition for the rest of us.

I doubt that has anything to do with the decision. Based on the statement, as it reads, SGAmmo is tired of expending resources answering the questions of fed investigators and is simply not doing business in an area that is causing headaches. While we would like to think such a move is based on being ethically upstanding, SGAmmo really has no obligation to change distribution patterns simply because a bad element in an area is "misusing" the product. Having to endure the microscope of a deep pocket government agency gets old real quick.
