A technological development from an American company of a way to legally sell ammunition has been going viral. The use of vending machines to legally validate age and sell ammunition causes some people to ignore all facts and logic and emote “guns are bad!”
The vending machines in question, from American Rounds, use computer technology to validate age with picture ID. If the person attempting to purchase ammunition is over 21 years old, they may purchase the ammunition using a picture ID, which the machine validates using facial recognition software. Only credit or debit card purchases seem possible. There does not appear to be any way to pay with cash on the face of the machine. This means a double check of identification takes place, as the person whose identification is validated must also use a credit card, which has to be separately validated.
According to the American Rounds website, the machines have been installed in six locations in two states and are expected to be installed in other states shortly. The machines are considered more secure than traditional stores, where ammunition is available on the shelf and subject to a greater chance of pilferage.
During the meeting, Councilman Kip Tyner said; “I got some calls about ammunition being sold in grocery stores, vending machines, the vending machines. Is that? I mean, I thought it was a Lie. I thought it was a joke – but it’s not.”
The Daily Mail and the Telegraph pushed hard on the “guns are bad!” theme by including misleading statistics on suicides and homicides committed with firearms, using the Orwellian term “gun violence.” The American Rounds website does not show any vending machines installed in Texas at this

More of a return to normalization of guns in the USA?
BINGO!!! NEVER BUY AMMO THIS WAY!!
Someine ought to check if there is a connection to the Feds somwhere. This sounds like a registry by other means. We already know credit card companies and banks act as Fed snitches.
Nope,
Always use cash to buy Firearms or Ammunition.
I usually only buy used firearms.
Leave a minimal paper trail.
There may not be an official Firearm Data Base but there are unofficial ones.
I don’t trust this one bit.
So all criminals have to do is hook a chain around one of them and pull it apart with a stolen car to get some free ammo...
I want a return to pre-1968 gun laws when a 14 year old boy could go into a store and buy a box of .22 shells with no questions asked. Cash and carry. I did in 1961. Now in some states you have to be 21 years of age.
***I usually only buy used firearms.***
Smart man. I wish I had back all those I bought before 1968.
Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.
A great name for a convenience store. Nothing more.
Eliminate the lATF as well as the CIA and the DHS. fold the duties i into a reorganized and cleansed FBI.
after trying to buy some .22LR ammo at walmart I can see the validity to this. I literally had to wait 30 minutes before they could find a clerk that could open the case and ring me up.
I will continue to pay cash over the counter. No ID required in Utah. New Yorkers, Californians, etc can KMA. Sucks to be you.
