During the procedure, 156 parts and pieces of weapons of war were seized, including assault rifles and rifles of different calibers; 6,221 rounds of ammunition of different calibers; a riot helmet; a laptop and two ballistic protection vests.
The Ministry of Interior also informed on August 2 that it dismantled an arms trafficking network that introduced military material into Venezuela from the United States, in an operation in which boats, vehicles and at least one airplane were seized.
According to the authorities, this network was organized by the so-called Comanditos del Terror of the opposition organization Vente Venezuela, with the support of a shipping company from the United States, with the aim of creating chaos among the population.
That's actually very little ammo. Random dudes hoard that much in a regular basis. Not that some chuckleheads couldn't do a lot of horrible things with it, but it isn't enough to fight even a local cop precinct with.
What do random dudes plan to do with 6000 rounds of ammunition?
I can easily go through a few hundred rounds at the range?
But not 6000, right?
I can easily go through a few hundred grams of pasta every week, but I don't keep 6kg at home.
