A company has installed vending machines that sell ammunition in grocery stores in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas, raising concerns among gun control advocates.
I live in a progressive urban area far from the Southern US. I can think of at least 2 different stores near me that sell groceries and ammunition. From my experience, groceries + ammo is pretty common for many big-box stores in the suburbs.
I like how they make this sound like it’s unusual.
Walmart sold ammo for years, and here, local chains like Bi-Mart still do.
The only interesting bit is the vending machine.
Outside of the rural south this is very unusual

I stand corrected. I don’t think I’ll understand the south’s love of guns
It’s for them to rise up and defend themselves if the US government ever gets authoritarian.
Well, unless it’s their kind of authoritarian. You know, white Christofascist ethnostate authoritarianism.
In pretty sure our canadian walmarts sold ammo
Every Walmart outside of the big city sells ammo in my blue state, then again there aren’t any Walmarts in the big city.
Walmart sells ammunition in more than half of their stores.
