Of course, they didn’t arrest the three persons (can you say illegals?) who dropped the backpacks. Good thing the backpacks didn’t sprout feet or we’d have lost them, too.

This thread has just added to the
FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Well, hell. Obviously there's still a lack of communication existing between government agencies that needs to be resolved.
I mean, what the hell good does it do for The ATF to smuggle arms into Mexico if The IBF is going to intercept the ammo?
C'mon, guys. Let's work together there, huh?

BATFE has zero credibility.
Time for them to go.

Damn it. Screwed up my own wise-assism.
Substitute The Border Patrol for The IBF.....oh, forget it....it's too late....I'll be more careful next time.

two stories in as many days of guys dropping small arms/ammo at the border as they beat feet over the fence...
seems the batFAGs attempts at PR for Gunwalker are workin overtime to show their need for a 'few broken eggs'...

5000 rounds? Big deal. I know people who have that many rounds in their basements for each of their various caliber firearms. This is just an attempt to counter the bad publicity from Project GunWalker.

Why would they need to be smuggling ammo into Mexico?
Don’t they have strict gun control down south O’ the border?
According to the logical geniuses of the Left, there should not be ANY gun violence down there.
Therefore, there shouldn’t be any reason for anyone – besides the BATFE, that is – to smuggling ammo, right?
