Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Company debuts vending machines selling ammunition in 3 Southern states
On July 13, a 20-year-old gunman shot multiple rounds with his father’s
semi-automatic rifle, wounded the former US President at his campaign rally in a
suburban town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and killed a bystander who tried to
cover his family. Later that night, at least four people were killed and nine
others were wounded in a shooting at a nightclub in Birmingham, Alabama. Purchasing,
owning, and carrying firearms is not illegal in the United States of America, except
for those who have been convicted of certain crimes or become subject to
certain court orders related to domestic violence or a serious mental
condition. Now, there will be vending machines that sell ammunition for handguns,
shotguns, and rifles in grocery stores in Texas and a few other Southern states
where gun culture is deeply embedded. The machine is equipped with AI to scan
the customer’s identification and facial recognition software to verify the buyer’s
identity. The supplier of the ammunition vending machines said they’ve already received
inquiries from other states, including populous California and Florida.
Dad: “I’m going grocery shopping. Do you need anything?”
Kid: “Get me some ammo, will you?”
