Officers inspected the item, which was arriving from Shenzhen, China, destined for a residence in Melbourne, Florida. The parcel was manifested as containing 100 Steel Pin Samples. This is a common practice of smugglers manifesting the contraband as a harmless or a legitimate commodity in hopes of eluding further examination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe importing of any type of munitions is regulated by the ATF,\u201d said Thomas Mahn, Port Director, Louisville. \u00a0\u201cThis smuggler was knowingly trying to avoid detection, however, our officers remain vigilant, ensuring our community is safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/\">Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)<\/a>\u00a0regulates and restricts firearms and ammunition. Importation of weapons or ammunition must be made by a licensed importer, dealer or manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>Officers referred the shipment to the CBP Center of Excellence and Expertise, Machinery team who appraised the shipment with a domestic value of $129,600. \u2013 article ?<\/p>\n<p>I would like to add that I am quite glad that BATF is Johnny on the spot with this kind of thing. These weapons did not reach their destination, and with the riots and destruction that are going on&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone besides me think these were just for hunting or target shooting at the gun range?\u00a0 Anyone? Taco? Mack? Whitfield? And before you start with that asinine hollering about nicknames, those were guys from my &#8220;A&#8221; School class and Taco wasn&#8217;t a nickname.
