I’ve read some gun magazines they were pretty good.

I’m here all week although most wish I wasn’t :-)

Heh, heh, to make money for college one of my uncles used to smuggle guns into Mexico from California back in the 1930s.

Kind of retarded. Did these mags have ammo in them?

I see those Mexicans trailering/towing cars 3 or 4 at a time southbound on 35.

Cars are deadly too.

You think cartels need people to smuggle mags?

I would imagine that Cheaper than Dirt and Brownells ships to Mehico. Shit.

What was his federal offence? In Texas, those mags were likely legal. They aren’t firearms. Maybe he needed an export license. His problem, it seems to me would have been the Mexicans.

American Rifleman, Shooting Monthly, Guns & Ammo, Pistoleer monthly, and 68 other titles of magazines, but if he was trying to export 72 clips, that would be illegal.

That’s the follower. Magazines have followers, clips don’t.

Clips are used to load ammo into magazines.

Anyway, what’s the big deal with smuggling magazines?

I've talked to a couple of those guys and they were from Panama. Their problem was running the gauntlet in Mexico without getting robbed.

Yeah, I know. It was something DiFi said a couple of years ago when describing assault weapons.
