How do you accidentally pack ammunition? His regrets are about not being able to see his kids grow up. He doesn't verbally recognize his wrongdoing & how it threatens the safety & well-being of another country. So American & so self-centered. If we had someone from another country come for vacation with bullets, we'd be just as concerned. I have no sympathy for them. & I don't want to make this a race thing. But if minorities did something similar here in America, people would be freaking out calling it a terrorist attempt & it'd probably be exploited politically to scare U.S. citizens. These laws exist for a reason.

I mean the Brittany Griner incident is clear evidence of the duality of USA opinions compared to this incident. Both were wrong and both got caught and both have to face (or did face) the consequences of their actions by each individual country. Agree or not with their laws, they are THEIR laws. In saying that, Russia used the opportunity to politicise it, because they’re corrupt AF, by giving her a 9 year sentence for an offence that ordinarily carries 15 days.

@@JAM661 The Turks and Caicos Islands is a British Overseas Territory Unfortunately, we Brits do not idolize guns as Americans do, and we certainly do not condone the smuggling of ammunition or firearms into our territory. The stance is clear: ignorance of the law excuses no one. If someone attempts to smuggle ammunition into British territory, they should be ready to face life imprisonment. This serves as a stern warning to American firearms smugglers.

Is there not a right to bear arms and practice freedom of religion in owning a gun or Bible? It appears to be an inadvertent oversight on his part, as he frequently engages in hunting activities and likely overlooked some ammunition in his bag. While he should have exercised greater caution in checking his belongings, it is not the end of the world.
The kids are at home with the gun wondering where dad hid the ammo.
This is news not because of the penalty, but because no one has loose ammo in their carry on. That's the crazy part.

This is why other countries tell America that gun ownership needs to be a privilege not a right. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this and the response is always “my bad that’s a bag I use for hunting”. Then be responsible. When you get home from your hunting trip, all your ammo should be accounted for and placed in a your gun safe. All these people with kids just leaving backpacks with bullets around the house. Ya’ll are crazy.
