Bullets and Bread: Ammo Vending Machines in Southern Grocery Stores

Imagine going to a grocery store and seeing a vending machine. But instead of snacks or drinks, it’s full of bullets! This is now real in some southern states. A company called American Rounds has put these machines in stores.

How It Works

These special vending machines use technology to check who’s buying. They scan IDs and look at faces to make sure the buyer is old enough and allowed to buy bullets. The machines are very heavy and hard to steal.

Right now, there are eight of these machines. They’re in stores in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas. These states have very relaxed gun laws. You don’t need special papers to buy or own guns there.

Why Some People Like It

The company says these machines make buying bullets safer. They think it’s harder for kids or people using fake IDs to get bullets this way. The machines are always working, so people can buy bullets anytime.

Many people who work to stop gun violence are worried. They think these machines could be dangerous. Some say grocery stores with these machines might get in trouble. Others worry bad people might still find ways to get bullets.
