    Ok, how about no bullet vending machines because that’s obviously dystopian and if you desperately need bullets and can’t wait to get to a gun shop you have bigger issues

      Because it is currently the most advanced way to pretend you are doing age verification when really you aren’t that is available on the market.

        How about this: scan your state issued ID. My license has a barcode, and bars already scan it, so it’s a solved problem, no AI needed. The process should essentially be:

        1. scan license
        2. snap picture of face
        3. send to police for lookup - needed to verify you’re not a felon or whatever, there’s more to it than just age verification
        4. accept or reject transaction

        The only AI that needs to exist would be at the local precinct, and used for related ID verification checks.

        Or how about this, instead of all this BS, put the vending machine in the store and have a clerk check your ID like they normally would.

      Things like this are literally just so that there is a test case to make it up to the Supreme Court. They do something ridiculous that obviously violates the intent of the law but mostly stays inside the letter of the law, in hopes that the Supreme Court will take it up and overturn the law. So, yes, the fact that the vending machine can technically sell bullets to minors is a feature, not a bug. Why is their endgame getting rid of age restrictions for firearms and ammunition? You’d have to ask the death cult themselves about that one.

      Because AI is racist and the US never developed gun laws until a bunch of black folks in California and decided to use their rights

    “It is easy for an underaged purchaser to go online and click they are of legal age, purchase ammunition, and have it shipped to their house,” added Magers

    WTF America, do amo marketplaces really have the same security standards as p**nhub ?

      Don’t be silly. Porn sites could permanently scar kids for life when they see a nipple, obviously they need much better protection than something benign like shipping explosives to their house /s

        Yup, in my state (Utah), there’s no required legal process to carry a firearm concealed, and you can buy a firearm w/o any required checks from a private seller (not ammo though), but you need to prove your age to access porn. That seems a little… odd.

    Actual ammo vending machines. That can be tampered with. Great.

    Could we not Torment Nexus the rest of Bioshock, please?

    Bullet vending machines? Just in case you find yourself running out of bullets while out and about in the city? “Damn it. They’re out of Snickers bars so I guess I’ll just settle for some 9mm.”

    Humanity is fucked when you can buy death from a vending machine. Where are the vodka vending machines? No? Just things to kill people.
