"A description of the suspects is not available at this time"

Because it doesn't fit their narrative?

I find it more interesting that they did not state how much is a "large amount" of ammo.

Hundreds? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands?

Or "Individuals responsible for the thefts may attempt to sell the ammunition to area Federal Firearms Licensees."

Yeah right, they aren't going to sell it to FFL's. No FFL would buy ammo from some thugs. They are going to sell it on the street or on Gunbroker.

A car and a SUV might make for a nice couple of weekends of shooting, but I doubt it would even supply one dealer for more than a couple of days of sales.

Per an ATF alert, the ammo was stolen from freight line shipping containers

Lets see, possibly left open and unguarded?

Scary... That's a lot of blown out lungs...

My money's on IRS agents in unmarked civilian vehicles. Those recently announced measures submitted attempting to cut-off their arsenal funding and disarming them has got to have the suits sweating to stock up using unconventional means from untraceable sources.

Over 10rds.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a ploy......
Yeah.......
Just laying the groundwork for more regulations.

"We need to better track and control......the sale of ammo."
"Safe transport and storage requirements."
"Lic. to buy, sell, handle ammunition......by everyone in the chain."
Etc......

"IF, we could save just one life."

Aloha, Mark

Yea... but with the way the anti's and media thinks....

"See that guy on the street corner. He's got some."

As a forum friend from another forum always said, "it's obviously the fault of the Icelandic Seperatists"...

My money is on a shipment from W-W to the government, as Winchester is contracted to supply gov't 9mm. Thus the announcement comes from the feds instead of local authorities. As to tracing, the lot numbers are known - how that plays out will be interesting..

Contrast this to an organized theft from Aguila in Mexico: millions of rounds, but all in 22LR. Wonder what the cartels will do with that? Contact the Sopranos for suppressed 22s?

Shipment of ammo from USA to Mexico.

CBP officers seize 16K rounds of ammunition at US-Mexico border: saved ‘countless lives’

Border authorities seized 16,000 rounds from a vehicle attempting to enter Mexico from the United States earlier this week, saving “countless lives,” according to one official.

Must be.....for all of those LEGAL firearms, held by Mexican Citizens. Rrrrrrright......

Or obviously.....the Cartel(s) needs to figure out better methods to ship stuff.....the "other way".

Aloha, Mark

Hey! Obama's Fast and Furious guns in Mexico must be fed!

 

[BlindedByScience]

If it were such an intense investigation, and they really want the public's help, wouldn't something like lot codes be good to offer...??

....yeah. Thought so.....

We've seen that before. Lol.

It may be worse than we think. The OBiden admin apparently has contracted with the Sonora cartel to enforce US tax laws. Those are the 87,000 armed agents he is speaking of. Arriving daily, they are already in place in the US, disguised as "immigrants."

So, brace yourselves, Martha's Vineyard, Chicago, D.C. and NYC!

Of note, Texas and Florida seem to have none of the tax agents.
