    If America had a 12 yr min for illegal possession, you'd see less people illegally carrying.

    How do you miss 20 ROUNDS of ammunition when you are packing. That is 3 - 5 lbs. Another concern, how did US TSA miss this?

      ​@ChlckenNugget Imagine how irresponsible it will be when one of his children finds and somehow manages to set off the primer of just one of those bullets so it fires, or leaves it lying around the house where it gets run over by a vaccuum and accidentally fires!
      If he's that irresponsible with his ammo he's almost assuredly irresponsible with his guns too. Plus it wasn't just a couple bullets. He had 20 rounds in his vacation luggage. Who carries ammo around in regular luggage that they also use for vacations?!

      @@krystalMtn for starters you must know nothing about ammunition if you're worried about a bullet going off by itself. even an adult intentionally trying to set it off would find it nearly impossible. and even if it did, without being in a barrel, the bullet wouldn't even go anywhere. there'd be no damage.
      and if its irresponsible, fine him or something. but leaving some bullets out should never equal YEARS in prison and away from your family. what kind of dystopian authoritarian system do you want to live in?
