What, was the Circus of Values brand too expensive to license?
- Ammo bandito would've stirred mixed feelings about conservatives' border policy
- FILL YOUR CRAVINGS WITH THE CIRCUS OF VALLUUUEEESSS
  
  COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE SOME MONEY BUDDY
- The bullet machines will be for the campus law enforcement, the tots won't get to use them.
  But they will get to try out the tech in cafeterias, so that they'll be more conveniently denied a free lunch.
  
  Myopic of them. We've seen cops respond to school shooters by cowering. The only thing that can stop a bad tot with a gun is a good tot with a gun.
- 90,585 days without a national health service.
  248yrs. Nice, you did the maths.
- I doubt so, since those vending machines require a face scan and ID verification for proof of age. Also those are two things that would make me decline to use such a machine.
- Think of the shareholders!
- They should put them in the duty free part of airports.
Tenner says we're seeing them in GTA 6 for obvious reasons
A fantastic day for capitalism!
- hi marcus :>
  
  I'm sure we'll do this all again soon enough.
I wonder what kind of training it takes to become capable of deciding that the thing your ammunition vending machine project really needs is Artificial Intelligence. Does the NRA have an MBA program?
Well time to build a large golden statue of a shopkeeper.
It's harder to buy alcohol than use the vending machine. Where I live, I can't buy alcohol at the liquor store before noon on Sunday or on holidays. But I can stock for a school shooting?
Puritan America values strike again.
- Puritan America values strike again.
  Just got an acausal message from the future. 2025 will be shocking, we have seen nothing yet. And sadly I don't think we in Europe have it in us to do a D-day to save the USA from the fascists.
I wonder what initial conditions spawned this fractal of bad. This Mandel-rot. This Sier-stink-ski
I don't know why anyone would use these. I just got 500 rounds of .45 for $.23/ea. LOL, they're probably $2/ea. in a vending machine.
- buddy, I'm not sure you took the right lesson from this
  
  No, that's the right lesson
- downvoted for .45
You do know that murder is only illegal killing, right?
With machines that require the hoops you jump through that those idiot boxes require, only an idiot would use them to buy ammo for a murder. Also, an idiot for paying that much for ammo.
Me, I only perform legal killings, so I can take out an equity loan and buy the entire machine out! Yay!
Yay?
- You're forgetting mass shooters, i.e., the people who don't care if they're identified or if they're getting a good price. Safe to say they're not worried about their credit rating if the plan is to take on a SWAT team in 20 minutes.
  
  Man, I have to break this to you, but if someone wants it fast, ammo from one of these machines is the last place they'd go. You can get ammo faster at a gun store. In and out, five minutes if the place isn't busy.
  The only realistic use case for these machines is people out hunting and wanting to only stop in one place on the way home, or as close to camp as possible when on a longer trip.
  Guns are harder to get than ammo. Shit, if you shoot regularly, you probably know someone that reloads, and can get a bucket full of ammo at a time, no questions asked.
  It's funny though, the idea of someone planning on cooking off a few hundred rounds, obtaining a rifle and magazines, getting all dressed up to go and then, "damn, I forgot to load any of these, better stop at the piggly wiggly and get ammo, or no mass mayhem for me!"
  Okay, the mayhem and killing part isn't funny, but the idea that a mass shooter wild use one of these machines is.
- i don't think that "one crime at a time" applies there. what's stopping a school shooter from just stealing shit from that idiot box
