a triangle of bullshit states I couldn't give a fuck less about. It's hard to contain my surprise here about such a goofy ass backwards thing in these states lol
can't wait for the day when you can buy slaught-o-matics from a vending machine in 'murica. What is the fricking use case for buying Ammo at a grocer now at a vending machine?
"Oh I forgot to buy ammunition for my school shooting, better hit up Walmart and get some."
Why not skip the middleman and equip every building with explosive vending machines that set a timer if you put in a quarter? There's nothing more American than mass slaughter of innocents.

From what I understand you could already buy guns and ammunition at Walmart in some states.
But you have to go to a liquor store to purchase wine…
Depends on the state. You can get liquor in grocery stores in Michigan.
Edit: that said, highest proof allowed for sale in Michigan is 151.
I miss the old days when I could pick up a rifle or shotgun during my trip to Fred Meyers or Wal-Mart. This isn't anything new or unusual.
I'm fine buying ammo from stores, but not so sure about a vending machine and definitely not from a vending machine with facial recognition.
I do worry about the absence of the human element. If someone smells like alcohol, or gives off any red flags -sellers should refuse the sale. If someone wants to access bullets, but a human refuses to sell to them for liability reasons, they can come to the machine instead.
The alternative more likely is them just in the aisle. Where you can just walk out with them without paying.
You are a genius!
Those who read the article will know that the machine scans your ID and your Face. So this is as secure as having the stuff behind the counter. And more secure than selling online.
I'm a gun-grabbing repeal-the-second type, but this isn't offensive or unusual.
Grocery stores? Seriously? I would understand shooting range etc.
Crazy.
Oh good, this will end well for children.
