So I'd like to know if the person who made the implication above can
actually back it up with a case. Either way, (they have hung a US
citizen for possession of a firearm or ammunition or they never have
done such a thing) it's good information to know.

Why? I wouldn't take a gun or ammo there because I wouldn't want to be the
first - or even put up with the hassle. I'll just stay away (no problem for
me) or, if I had to go there I simply give the gun/ammo to Davy Jones before
entering their territory. A decent pump shotgun and a box of ammo are not
expensive enough to risk jail let alone death and I wouldn't expose an
expensive gun to the sea anyway. BTW I habitually carry at home (USA).
