EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Ysleta Port of Entry seized 3,150 rounds of ammunition from a man traveling to Mexico.

“CBP officers conduct outbound inspections, targeting the movement of unreported currency, weapons, ammunition and other violations,” said CBP Ysleta Port Director Arnoldo Gomez. “This is an important part of the CBP enforcement mission.”

The incident occurred on Thursday, July 6, when CBP officers selected a vehicle driven by a 19-year-old male, U.S. citizen for a routine inspection. During inspection of the vehicle, CBP officers discovered several ammunition boxes hidden underneath the backseat. Further search resulted in the discovery of 63 boxes containing 3,150 rounds of .45 caliber ammunition located throughout the vehicle.

They must have known it is illegal to transport ammo out of the country!  Why, then, did they not obey the law?  HEY!!!  Does this mean weapons and ammo are smuggled all the time across the border in violation of the law?  Well, I never!
