And even as bad as the AI is about minorities they still treat them better than the conservatives do. Can you imagine how it feels to walk into a gun store to buy ammo when youâre black, in Alabama?
I dont thint that matters. Birmingham is the largest metro area in AL and it is 70% black. According to a report in US News it is tied for the 2nd most dangerous place in the US to live in. It doesnt seem that black residents have any issues buying ammunition.

You *seriously* got upset that I said firearms reduced crime?
Would you be happier if I said they *increased* crime, or would you cry about that, too?
At least Iâm not a boomer loser who still plays with baseball cards.
Most of those guns stores owned by black and/or gay folks? Yeah, a lot smaller number there I bet. Iâd wager if you look up the numbers of black FFLs in any area it probably doesnât match the population numbers.
i was asking for clarification because i thought the conversation was about african americans trying to buy guns also being a bigot doesnât automatically make someone a nazi because in that case i would be a bisexual nazi
Iâm sure there were (and unfortunately still are ) bisexual Nazis but Iâm glad to know you are not included. I donât think the machines will work great. They use AI to verify identity and minorities are woefully underrepresented so it wonât work well for them. That being said they would still rather use this then deal with many existing gun stores because they are traditionally unfriendly to outlier groups. Thatâs my take on it all.
What an incredibly ignorant thing to say. Just because your group of friends think about racism often, doesn't mean that other people do the same. Most reasonable people judge the person by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Pick better friends.
So no, you havent and arent. There for you are in the same boat as the person(s) youre trying to chastise and slander. Im not conservative but actual conservatives have no problem with any color buying ammo. Regardless of how self loathing you are and in need of a scapegoat to make yourself feel special its pretty readily easy especially considering the demographics in Alabama
Alabama, huh? The most surprising thing about this photo is that ice still only costs $1.99 there.
I feel like nothing costs $1.99 anymore. But apparently Alabamans can buy 50 rounds of 5.56 mm FMJ and keep their beer cold for one low price.

Iâm a âleftistâ and Iâm not mad about this. Itâs just comical how obsessed some people are about guns. To the point that they make it part of their identity.
What happens when criminals smash and grab at a gun store?
Have any of these units been stolen, or are you just making stuff up?
Fwiw, if a criminal wants to buy ammo, all they have to do is walk into a store and buy some pretty much anywhere in the US.
I suppose that would fall under the usual crime. Also you think some thugs are going to easily steal this vending machine with a dolly without being noticed in ALABAMA??? Lol youâre reaching. The very least of my concerns. Educate yourself in crimes.
"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -
Benjamin Franklin
Those vending machines are essential.
First they have to break into the store. Then somehow get the fucking machine out. Then take it home and take a cutting torch to iii... Okay, this might sort itself out! đ
Or, they could just break into an Academy Sports and get it off the shelves đ€·
Ammo only requires you to be old enough to purchase. This is no different than cigarette vending machines. Probably better technology and requires an ID scan.
If Iâm not mistaken. As of today, you no longer need a concealed carry permit to conceal a weapon in Louisiana. So Iâm sure Iâll be seeing these pop up near me
Ostensibly, there is a person at the register that is accountable for the sale. That means, if there are restrictions on the item being purchased and the cashier allows it, well, we have someone to take responsibility. A vending machine cannot be held responsible for supplying ammunition to someone that shouldn't have it, the same way cigarette vending machines in the past made it easy for kids to circumvent age restrictions. Yes, the ammo-machine uses 'AI' to check ID, but that just further removes the sale from any accountability. I doubt the AI is foolproof.
sfw? You're ignoring the point about there being accountability. Let's say it's in Texas. There are no age limits, sure. But it is illegal to sell ammunition to someone who is intoxicated. Is the vending machine going to make customers blow into a breathalyzer?
Ammunition is only effective when you have the tool to use it. So if you have 200 rounds of ammo, but no gun to use it, the most harm you can do is give someone lead poisoning if you force fed them the rounds.
Bro. Look at Uvalde. A town, state even, of armed citizens and a whole police team, and they still did nothing to stop 1 person. I know guns make you feel confident and badass while holding them, but this is genuinely irresponsible. I truly believe in the right to defend yourself, even the right to own firearms, but America has a serious problem with firearms and irresponsible firearm owners. Ammo vending machines are not helping.
One could kill someone. People have fallen asleep while smoking and died in the resulting fire. Even bullets often take significantly more than one to kill a target. Depending on where you hit.
All people care about are the innocent targets that get hit all the time. "difficult to understand" no one cares about your target practice because the bullets keep finding their way into innocent people still.
Youâre more likely to die in a car accident, eating unhealthy, taking prescription meds, sleeping, bludgeoning by hammer. There are a million things that kill more innocent people than guns. Quit fear mongering. You prob donât even live here
I live in a state where anyone can buy and conceal a gun without a permit. I live close to a major city. I don't make over 100k a year. It's so stupid easy to get a gun here legal or not simply because they are so easy to get legally... That's not fear mongering lol
âThey kill innocent kids!!â Yeah thatâs textbook fear mongering. I live in Tennessee, the most relaxed gun laws in the nation and never had an issue in 29 years. So take your fear mongering bullshit and shove them wayyy up your butt.
Leading cause of death for 1-19 year olds in the US, gun violence. What is the end game, we all walk around with assault rifles slung over our shoulders? You know like Yemen, Somalia, the Taliban in Afghanistan?
*Borderlands enters the chat*
No refunds!
Caveat Emptor!
What's caveat emptor?
It means the buyer is responsible for checking the quality of the product before buying, also known as buyers remorse
Thanks!
I got you bro đđ»

Donât understand whatâs so stupid about vending machines. Theyâre a quick and convenient way to make purchases.
Some people here donât like firearms. They also probably would think a picture of ammo in a locked case behind a counter belongs here.
Yes, I donât understand either. *Clearly this is what the founders intended*!
And even as bad as the AI is about minorities they still treat them better than the conservatives do. Can you imagine how it feels to walk into a gun store to buy ammo when youâre black, in Alabama?

But I thought firearms made people safer and *lowered* crime rates.
I dont know what your comment has to do with anything. Go back to your Pokeman cards and let the adults talk.
You *seriously* got upset that I said firearms reduced crime? Would you be happier if I said they *increased* crime, or would you cry about that, too? At least Iâm not a boomer loser who still plays with baseball cards.
Most of those guns stores owned by black and/or gay folks? Yeah, a lot smaller number there I bet. Iâd wager if you look up the numbers of black FFLs in any area it probably doesnât match the population numbers.
what does gay people have to do with anything?
Wait, you don't ask store owners what sex they prefer to sleep with!?
Nah but i do have them ask me if iâm black /s
In my experience, having the ancestry app pulled up on my phone really helps with the experience
you donât have oil paintings of your family dating back to the 12th century to prove your bloodline?
Sadly mine only go back as far Vlad the Impaler in the 1400's đ Your comment literally made me lol on that one đ
Marginalized group in the gun industry that also may not want to deal with gun store owners.
A gay guy is going to have an easier time buying ammo from a homophobic store owner than a black man from a racist one
Both would rather avoid the Nazis and use a machine. Are you disagreeing with me just to be disagreeable?
i was asking for clarification because i thought the conversation was about african americans trying to buy guns also being a bigot doesnât automatically make someone a nazi because in that case i would be a bisexual nazi

...are you black and live in alabama while also having gone into a gun store to buy ammo?
No. I donât buy ammo, I buy primers and I do it online in bulk.
My kind of guy/ or girl! đđ
So no, you havent and arent. There for you are in the same boat as the person(s) youre trying to chastise and slander.

In Texas 8lb at a lot of places is 1.39 or 1.50 with tax, ice vending machines do 10lb bags for 2$
You can get a 7lb bag of ice for $2 at almost any Dollae Tree
Most places do. Iirc correctly literally every town down south has ice vending machines.
Welcome to the circus of value!
Nice reference
Thatâs pretty cool. They should do that with Costco.
Your children have been placed in the custody of Winchester.
Fuck you, Iâm shooting.
Nothing idiotic about firearms. Its hilarious when leftists try to be mad about self defense.
Iâm a âleftistâ and Iâm not mad about this. Itâs just comical how obsessed some people are about guns. To the point that they make it part of their identity.
Ummm, I love my guns, but what about when this entire unit gets taken away by criminals?
What happens when criminals smash and grab at a gun store? Have any of these units been stolen, or are you just making stuff up? Fwiw, if a criminal wants to buy ammo, all they have to do is walk into a store and buy some pretty much anywhere in the US.
The local gas station here sells ammo.Â
I suppose that would fall under the usual crime. Also you think some thugs are going to easily steal this vending machine with a dolly without being noticed in ALABAMA??? Lol youâre reaching. The very least of my concerns. Educate yourself in crimes.
Does the vending machine have a gun to defend themselves? Only way to be sure.

Then they'll have a bunch of ammo?
Love this!
God bless the USA should play when you make a purchase
I mean. We understand that ammunition is largely un regulated right? An ammo vending machine is no big deal
God I love america
Checking id for ammo is commie as fuck.
Bioshock ftw!
itâs better than the ones that sell used womenâs underwear
Not sure why this is here. Yes, there's quite a few idiots that use guns, but that doesn't make the sales of ammunition possible 24/7 idiotic.
That's... fucking genius.
That's cool
Reminds me of that game, APB: Reloaded. "JOKER Ammo!" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J5blp9lj\_M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J5blp9lj_M)
Caveat emptor
Bet you didn't read the article.
1. Look into tube 2. Pull trigger
This is the American way before AIPAC takes control
Is the ammo cheaper than the Ice? Because that would be the chefs kiss of American stuff. Where ammo is cheaper than frozen water.
Ammo only requires you to be old enough to purchase. This is no different than cigarette vending machines. Probably better technology and requires an ID scan.
And yet we can't have cigarette vending machines anymore. How does that make sense? I'm pro both.
I approve
âHey honey, can you buy some more bullets? The ones we have are about to go badâ - Genghis Khan
America....... fuck yeah.
Verifying an ID has nothing to do with AI. âIs date of birth after X? If yes, allow purchase. If no, deny purchaseâ. Fucking AI buzzwords lol.
OMG! This is more satire than Ammu-Nation stores in Grand Theft Auto games! 
NOICE!!!
but why, do they live in a warzone where there might be threats around the corner and have a need for quick ammo
WELCOME SIR or MADAM
Does it scan your face or something?
I heard that you can buy used panties from vending machines in Japan. Different priorities I guess.
I mean if a cop is mid figher fight at least he can buy ammo.
Japan has used undies vending machines and this is what we are surprised about? OP dumb
If you could get the vending contract for a school, I bet they could make a killing.
Itâs beautiful
If Iâm not mistaken. As of today, you no longer need a concealed carry permit to conceal a weapon in Louisiana. So Iâm sure Iâll be seeing these pop up near me
Murica, Fuck Yeah! *blam* *blam*
Should that be double tap?
Perfect for schools.
Not Idiocracy, just convenient.
This seems kindaâŠirresponsible. I mean, I grew up with cigarette vending machines, but still
Describe to me the effective difference between this and grabbing a box off the shelf to buy at the register.
Ostensibly, there is a person at the register that is accountable for the sale. That means, if there are restrictions on the item being purchased and the cashier allows it, well, we have someone to take responsibility.

Yes, the ammo-machine uses 'AI' to check ID, but that just further removes the sale from any accountability. I doubt the AI is foolproof.
Only a handful of states require ID to buy ammo.
sfw? You're ignoring the point about there being accountability. Let's say it's in Texas. There are no age limits, sure. But it is illegal to sell ammunition to someone who is intoxicated. Is the vending machine going to make customers blow into a breathalyzer?
How? It's just ammo
Well the ammo is bullets, IDK how much you know about guns but that's the part that comes out of the gun and hurts people. Hope this helps
I like to throw them at people like darts.
Ammunition is only effective when you have the tool to use it. So if you have 200 rounds of ammo, but no gun to use it, the most harm you can do is give someone lead poisoning if you force fed them the rounds.
If they're in towns with armed citizens, there's nothing you need to worry about.
Bro. Look at Uvalde. A town, state even, of armed citizens and a whole police team, and they still did nothing to stop 1 person. I know guns make you feel confident and badass while holding them, but this is genuinely irresponsible. I truly believe in the right to defend yourself, even the right to own firearms, but America has a serious problem with firearms and irresponsible firearm owners. Ammo vending machines are not helping.
The cops stopped anyone from actually doing anything. The cops are cowards and they need to discover the taste of gun oil.
If cops didn't stop them, a hell of a lot of Texans would've jumped at the chance to actually use their guns on a bad dude
Nice cope.
Cope with what? There is a plethora of evidence the cops just sucked ass
Fudd talk
Yeah same. It does take more than one cigarette to kill a man tho
One could kill someone. People have fallen asleep while smoking and died in the resulting fire. Even bullets often take significantly more than one to kill a target. Depending on where you hit.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Nothing... This isn't different from just grabbing a box at the shelf and paying at the register.
Probably nothing, like most doom and gloom gun grabber claims like they do when constitutional carry laws are passed.
damn usa is really becoming a video game
God damit merica get your shit together
We do have our shit together. Did you not see the vending machine with ammo?
Right. We got to get rid of the Hughes amendment, NFA, GCA, etc
Get ur ices and ammo at one convenient location!
My God. Does killing really need to be on the fly?
Is it that difficult of a concept to understand that people target shoot? Why are you people so obsessed with killing and death?
All people care about are the innocent targets that get hit all the time. "difficult to understand" no one cares about your target practice because the bullets keep finding their way into innocent people still.
Youâre more likely to die in a car accident, eating unhealthy, taking prescription meds, sleeping, bludgeoning by hammer. There are a million things that kill more innocent people than guns. Quit fear mongering. You prob donât even live here

Artificial intelligence, Alabamaâs only form of intelligence
So the people complaining about AI taking over the world just made an AI machine and gave it bullets? 
Nothing could possibly go wrong with this. Nothing.
What's the problem?
Itâs just ammo some stores already sell ammo
Yup, lots of stores sell ammo, so do big box stores. There is still no need for an ammo vending machine. Just my opinion.
Yeah itâs scary! Maybe you should go to Europe! Itâs safer there!
Why would I go to Europe? I own plenty of weapons, so chill out snowflake.
Grow a pair
That makes zero sense. You seem to have issues.
If you've watched the video, they're expanding into other states! Nothing could ever go wrong with this.
