What do 2,000 rounds of shotgun shells look like? Customs shows what was found on plane

Customs in Fort Lauderdale found more than 2,000 rounds of shotgun bullets bound for the Caribbean.

Customs and Border Protection said the weapon was in a private plane at the Fort Lauderdale airport. The plane was supposed to go to Nassau.

The finding wasn't the result of an investigation. During a patrol, 22 boxes of bullets were found.

The case has been handed over to Homeland Security Investigations by the Customs and Border Protection agency. The bust is an active case that can't be released. According to Yglesias, agents are looking into people who may have been responsible for the plane leaving.

If it was to be distributed in the Bahamas or other islands, or if an arrest was made, we don't know.

There has been an increase in the number of weapons and parts being seized at ports in the Caribbean from South Florida. At a briefing this week, officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, and the Department of Commerce stated that they are committed to stopping the flow of drugs, terrorists, and criminals.

It's nearly impossible to stop the flow of weapons and bullets due to the lack of gun laws in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

Although Florida law bars anyone who can't own a gun from buying a gun, licensed vendors aren't required to run background checks on buyers. Because buyers don't have to fill out a federal form, transactions can't be traced.

Gun laws in the U.S. help fuel gang violence in Haiti.
