Border agents seize guns, let driver go
A search by U.S. federal agents of a Mexico-bound pickup and trailer in Del Rio turned up 13 firearms and 1,045 rounds of ammunition.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to the international bridge found the weaponry concealed in the floor of the utility trailer late Tuesday.
The hidden cache included nine shotguns, several pistols and an assault rifle. The vehicle, trailer and guns were seized, said Rick Pauza, a CBP spokesman.
Federal officials declined to say why the driver, a 35-year-old Mexican citizen, wasn't charged.

If you get caught with even empty brass or the remaining empty box of 22's you are toast in Mexico if a US citizen. You will go to the dirt floor prison and sit for a long time until your relatives can come up with the extortion money to get you out![;)][;)]
Only the wealthy own guns in Mexico. Gangs of course are well armed too.0 -
I suspect their (mehico's) strict gun laws are one of the factors in their moral and physical poverty. 0 -
