During the procedure, 156 parts and pieces of weapons of war were seized, including assault rifles and rifles of different calibers; 6,221 rounds of ammunition of different calibers; a riot helmet; a laptop and two ballistic protection vests.

The Ministry of Interior also informed on August 2 that it dismantled an arms trafficking network that introduced military material into Venezuela from the United States, in an operation in which boats, vehicles and at least one airplane were seized.

According to the authorities, this network was organized by the so-called Comanditos del Terror of the opposition organization Vente Venezuela, with the support of a shipping company from the United States, with the aim of creating chaos among the population.

That's actually very little ammo. Random dudes hoard that much in a regular basis. Not that some chuckleheads couldn't do a lot of horrible things with it, but it isn't enough to fight even a local cop precinct with.

I haven't met "random dudes" that hoard as much ammo as the article mentions in Latin America. From my perspective, that is not normal unless the person holding this weaponry are part of the capitalists illegal enforcers(cartel member).

Americans believe that everybody in the world has a gun and hoard "very little ammo".
