    A prison sentence doesn’t make sense in these cases, since there is no risk of repeat offenses and therefore no rehabilitation required.

    Just give them a 4 digit large fine and maybe deport them, unless you have a non-functioning justice system focused on cruelty, then give them a significant prison sentence.

    Yeah, no.

    It seems that these Americans have discovered that they can’t just ignore the rule of law in other countries.

    Let them deal with the consequences. Let them lose that American exceptionalism.

    Nobody gets a free pass for breaking laws in America, so these Americans shouldn’t get a free pass for breaking laws in other countries.

      Loose ammo can creep into all kinds of nooks when a box spills open. I’ve found rounds tucked into the fold of a range bag years after the spill.

      It’s exactly why my range bags and my travel bags nexer mix.

        Are we talking about gummy bears or explosives?

        If you let ammo lose around the house, you have MUCH bigger problems than travelling

          Somebody goes on a hunting trip. Among other things they pack ammunition. The cardboard box of ammo breaks open and 100 rounds spill all over the inside of their bag. A year later they go on a different trip and bring the same bag with them, and there’s a loose round in the folds of the bag they don’t know about, but the dog sniffs it out.

          That’s why I have separate bags and cases specifically for traveling with ammunition.

            honestly they should be securing their fucking ammo better. cardboard boxes aren’t meant for travel. the packaging it’s sold in isn’t meant to stand up to abuse. stop pouring casings around your luggage and you’ll have an easier time with this.

    fuck that, its not hard to check your luggage before traveling.

    Stop throwing the weight of the US government behind trying to protect assholes.

      I travel a lot, both with and without guns. And ammo has a way of ending up in the weirdest little folds of your backpack and clothes.

        I travel with and without. I have bags specifically for firearms and ammo. That way when I travel somewhere that having just one round of 22lr might be an issue I use a bag that never had my firearm stuff. It eliminates the uncertainty.

        That’s why you should treat guns and ammo with care. Have you never learned to count?

          You’re funny. I shot tens of thousands of rounds every month, so no, I do not count individual rounds.
