    Candy, ice and lottery tickets have long been impulse items sold at checkouts in American grocery stores. Now bullets are joining the list of merchandise peddled to consumers as they exit at a growing number of stores around the country. Dallas-based start-up American Rounds rolled its first automated retail ammo machine into a Fresh Value grocery store in Pell City, Alabama, late in 2023, selling various brands of rifle, shotgun and handgun ammo.Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the mos

      The chain of idiocy here is truly awe inspiring. Someone came up with this ridiculous idea. They unashamedly made a business proposal. They were taken seriously. They got investors. They somehow got licensing/legal approval, which is my “favorite” part. One of their advertising angles is SAFETY. Now, they intend to expand.

        “Hey, can we make some other machines and put beer in it, like they have in Japan?”

        … licensing/legal approval …

        Depends entirely on the state. In Illinois, you have to show a FOID card to buy ammo. In Utah, you don’t need to show anything to buy a whole gun.
