Their vending machines are locked and loaded.
Two grocery stores in Alabama are selling gun ammunition in artificial intelligence-powered “retail kiosks” that scan buyers’ identification cards and faces before spitting out bullets.
The refrigerator-sized machines, located at Fresh Value stores in Tuscaloosa and Pell City, use 360-degree facial recognition to verify a customer’s age and ID in order to make it easier for folks to get firearm ammo, AL.com reported.
“One of the ways we’re changing the landscape of ammunition sales is to make it more available,” a rep for American Rounds, which operates the machines, said in a promo video — which shows the dispenser serendipitously placed next to a cooler of Bang Energy drinks in the Pell City store.

There is a small convenience store in Autaugaville, Al (outside Montgomery) that sells Alcohol, Tobacco, and firearms. Gotta love that.

We used to be able to buy all firearms the same way till Dec 1968 when the German National Socialist gun laws were incorporated into American federal law ...
