Vending machines selling ammunition will now be in grocery stores in Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma, a move that has generated mixed feelings from officials in those states.
I’m not going to buy ammo from a vending machine, because I’m not interested in willingly submitting to their biometrics. But how is this really different from someone going to a gun store to buy a few boxes of ammunition, aside from being more convenient and more expensive? If you have to have your ID read by the machine, and it’s also using biometrics to make sure you match the ID, then where is the issue? Beyond, that is, someone’s opposition to firearms in general.
Okay, and?
