Ok, how about no bullet vending machines because that’s obviously dystopian and if you desperately need bullets and can’t wait to get to a gun shop you have bigger issues
I agree with Chirs Rock that you shouldn’t worry so much about regulating guns as much as regulating ammunition. This was a terrible idea.
Won’t anyone think of the gun owners that have social anxiety that can’t bear to look the guy at the gun shop in the eye and don’t have the time to wait for an online order because IVE GOT TO DO IT TONIGHT IF I DON’T DO IT TONIGHT ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

“I’ve got bullets with your name on them! Wait that didn’t come out right…”
luckily we have this cybersecurity export to get that info
Hey everyone, lockpickinglawer here. Today I’m going to show you how you can open one ammo vending machine with another ammo vending machine.
What happens if the building with this vending machine catches fire?
Or if someone throws a molitov cocktail at it?
Any vending machine can be hacked. We used to get free sodas from one twenty years ago.
The people who use the machine are undoubtedly the same people terrified of a national gun owner registry. A machine that scans your whole face from multiple angles every time you buy ammo…
Neo Libertarians. As long as its a private company with all their biometrics, they’re fine with it
Humanity is fucked when you can buy death from a vending machine. Where are the vodka vending machines? No? Just things to kill people.
Vodka kills a lot of people
Did you know you can just buy a vending machine and put whatever you want in it? Vodka, blunts, heroin, Irn Bru, anything.
Where can I buy a vending machine? Is there a vending machine selling vending machines I can visit?
Not quite, but vending.com has vending machines. I think they run a few thousand each, so they’re not exactly cheap…
Cigarette vending machines used to be quite common. Even today, there are some alcohol vending machines in controlled areas (some fancy hotels have 24/7 vending machines stocked with a particular brand of champagne bottles).
A hotel I stayed at recently had a vending machine filled with beer and wine. It just worked with the honour system, no ID check or whatever.
It was fairly nicely priced too, especially for a hotel.
Humanity or America?
America or USA?
Good point
Why in the everliving fuck is that a thing anyone needed? Just go to a gun store and show your ID if needed for fucks sake
We don’t need a new way to buy bullets, we certainly don’t need a vending machine for them, and if we’re getting one anyway it certainly doesn’t need AI, who the fuck dreamt this up and thought it was a good idea??
As a big proponent of the 2A and generally in favor of less restrictions, I also don’t see the point. Here are the times I’d need ammo:
- at the range - just call someone over and they’ll deliver it to you
- before going hunting - I’m heading to the hunting store anyway, I’ll just pick some up there
- a trip to BLM land to go shooting - pull from stash and refresh it w/ an online order
- when picking up a new gun - gun stores tend to have ammo
Vending machines tend to be in more urban environments, and if I’m there, I either already have ammo (if I’m carrying concealed) or I’m not carrying a firearm anyway. In the rare situation where I’m carrying a firearm w/o ammo (why?), I’m not going to stop and load my gun in public, so why go to the vending machine?
I don’t see any good reason for this to exist. Either order online or pick up along w/ other stuff at the gun store. A vending machine is going to be out of whatever caliber I want anyway and they’ll probably get restocked rarely, so even a mild convenience would likely end up being an inconvenience. So even if it was safe, it’s not solving any problems.
As someone w/ young kids, I definitely don’t want to make access to ammo easier for casual gun owners. Gun enthusiasts already know where to get ammo, this is just going to be a target for bored kids.
BLM land?
Bureau of Land Management, I assume
Yup. Government owned land with very few restrictions on use. They generally have turnoffs here and there for recreational shooting, usually against a rock wall or something. People will pull off, set up targets and have a blast.
Who cares? You can buy ammo in plenty of places and most of us buy it online for the deep discount.
The AI is for age verification or this idea would never fly.
Amoral greedy hateful conservatives.
But I repeat myself.
Bullet vending machines? Just in case you find yourself running low on bullets while out and about in the city? “Damn it. They’re out of Snickers bars so I guess I’ll just settle for some 9mm.”
Same reason as any other vending machine, impulse buys.
Ammo should never be an impulse buy, and I say this as a strong proponent of the 2A.
'murica, fuck yeah!
An entire country of fucking cowards 😂
For when you run out of 5.56 before third period biology
The world would be better off if certain people ate a bullet. But those people usually are not in the vending machine target demographic.
Why does a vending machine even have AI in the first place?
Because AI is racist and the US never developed gun laws until a bunch of black folks in California and decided to use their rights
Because it is currently the most advanced way to pretend you are doing age verification when really you aren’t that is available on the market.
How about this: scan your state issued ID. My license has a barcode, and bars already scan it, so it’s a solved problem, no AI needed. The process should essentially be:
- scan license
- snap picture of face
- send to police for lookup - needed to verify you’re not a felon or whatever, there’s more to it than just age verification
- accept or reject transaction
The only AI that needs to exist would be at the local precinct, and used for related ID verification checks.
Or how about this, instead of all this BS, put the vending machine in the store and have a clerk check your ID like they normally would.
But that is boring, that might actually solve the problem and doesn’t have any hype keywords to get anyone to overvalue your company and buy it.
I dont understand 3. That’s AI or you’re waiting 6 months before 4
Things like this are literally just so that there is a test case to make it up to the Supreme Court. They do something ridiculous that obviously violates the intent of the law but mostly stays inside the letter of the law, in hopes that the Supreme Court will take it up and overturn the law. So, yes, the fact that the vending machine can technically sell bullets to minors is a feature, not a bug. Why is their endgame getting rid of age restrictions for firearms and ammunition? You’d have to ask the death cult themselves about that one.
Actual ammo vending machines. That can be tampered with. Great.
Could we not Torment Nexus the rest of Bioshock, please?
From what i can see here, the USA are currently socially regressing from Bioshock 1 to Bioshock Infinite.
