| #17 It's easy to hike across the border into Canada from Ferndale Used to live in Ferndale WA. Still about 10Mi or so from the border. Quite a ways to pack it over open farmland - most of it pasture. Knew some people in Sumas who live, literally, about 300' from the border - which was little more than a ditch. |

| #14 If I were going to sell weapons South of the border, why would I go to Yamhill County, Oregon, buy them, and then haul them back North to Washington closer to the Canadian border? Why wouldn't I haul them to California closer to the Mexican border? The Mexican drug cartels have hundreds of people in California tending illegal pot groves on public lands. You could sell them directly to the cartel members without having to take them across the border yourself. I believe these weapons were being cached for Iranian operatives who were to come across the border from Canada at some future point. |

| #13 I believe this guy was one of probably several people in this country performing the logistics function of arming Iranian/Hezbollah sleeper cells Possibly. But don't discount 1) the price that would be fetched selling such weapons south of the border and 2) the length people go to make money. |

| #10 "Thus he is in the country illegally, it alleges." Doesn't that mean that ICE was required to let him go? I thought they weren't supposed to interfere with illegals. "For further transshipment?" I don't think so. I believe this guy was one of probably several people in this country performing the logistics function of arming Iranian/Hezbollah sleeper cells that would be activated in case of any action against Iran over their nukes. I can't know first hand about any of that but it would be consistent with things Iran has said and capabilities they are claimed to have. This is probably the tip of an iceberg. |

| #9 Iran is probably behind the current destabilizing influx of weapons into Messico - that would make sense (from their perspective) too. |

| #8 Weapons cache for sleepers here. You could stir up a lot of fear with that stuff. Funding courtesy of Iran. |

| #7 plus, Messico is intolerant of illegal aliens other than their own, of course |

| #6 Why smuggle weapons into the US which are perfectly legal to own in the US? For further transshipment? |

| #5 can't buy them with his ID/status? I suspect he was a sleeper supplier too. No background checks.... |

| #2 US Iran balloon? |

| #1 The .223 rifles (semiauto?) and ammo don't have much use in Iran since they get that stuff much cheaper and less risk from the Chinese or make their own. My guess is Iranian agents stockpiling for a terror campaign when the US-Iran balloon goes up. |
