    How about the governors suggest that their residents don’t travel internationally with ammunition?

        they admit to it.

        Ryan Watson, 40, of Oklahoma, a father of two who was most recently arrested for unknowingly having ammo in his bag on April 12, remains on the island. Both men previously told Fox News Digital that they had the ammo in their bags from prior hunting trips.

        Michael Lee Evans, 72, pleaded guilty to having ammunition in his bag on April 24, according to local news outlet the Turks & Caicos Sun. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 18.

        why are you fabricating bullshit?

          I’m not fabricating anything. I’m skeptical that a bunch of irresponsible gun nuts keep getting caught in a nation no irresponsible gun nut has ever heard of, while somehow avoiding capture everywhere else.

          Its also strange to me that people on a site all about ACAB when it comes to their own nations are not throwing that skepticism to a nation they also have likely never heard of.

            You stated: It is very unlikely these people were carrying ammo.

            they admitted to carrying the ammo.

            look buddy just because you’re not familiar with the turks doesn’t mean it’s not real. your lack of experience and geography knowledge doesn’t poof it out of existence.

            you really think the gun nuts put that much thought into storage and care for their firearms and associated material huh?

            what a buffoon.

              I like that I reference the fact that irresponsible gun owners suddenly flocking end masse to a place they wouldn’t have hears of turns into you accusing me of having never hears of that place.

              Like… What? Okay.

              I get it, you like to argue on the internet and being mr. Smarty pants is super important to you. But at least make sense.

                en masse.

                not end.

                why the fuck would people flock to a place they’d never heard of? do you stop to read the shit you’re writing?

                I don’t like to argue on the internet, I like to point out how stupid, inane, and poorly constructed your arguments are. I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time or crayons to draw you a picture so it’d make sense to you.

                  I think you should be taking your anger out on your mother, not randos on the internet, or therapy.

                  Or go back to reddit. Have a good night.

            “I have never heard of this country, therefore any arrest made there is a conspiracy.”

            Your logic is flawless, way to go

        Per the article ‘Four of the detained Americans have admitted they brought the ammunition — but by mistake.’

        Then how did they find ammo and why have several admitted they brought the ammo and “forgot”?

        Sounds like you’re full of shit.

          Why is this not happenong at the same rate elsewhere?

          People also admit to many things they never did while in custody.

          Something fishy is happening here.

              I almost forgot that asshole. No one outside the US thought the intervention was warranted. Case in point: the Swiss vandal in 2010

            This happens in other Caribbean countries too. If you were to fly to Bermuda or Grenada you’d get in trouble for carrying this stuff.

            Yeah, the Brits (since it is a British territory) have been trying to frame every single American to put them in jail since the rebellion!
