This is so dumb it beggars belief. Yes, prohibited people are not allowed to buy ammo. However, anyone can go anywhere and buy ammo with nothing more than an ID, and that’s only an age check. Do these senators think Walmart is running a background check on me when I pick up a box of 12-gauge?!

Saw an amusing video showcasing the ammo cops had confiscated from gangbangers. These guys often had 3-4 different types of ammo in the same magazine. If they can’t afford to visit Academy for a box of 20, they sure can’t afford vending machine prices.

Wrong hill to fight on you idiots.

Well.

Walmart kinda does do a background check on you, yes. They have an entire biometric dossier, too.

They don’t care if you’re buying ammo illegally, though. But they are running background checks on everyone coming into their stores. Have been for a while.

Wait what? Background checks on everyone that goes in a Walmart?? That’s an insanely large number of people.

yup.

So. Their security cameras, that are literally everywhere in the store? they’re tied into all sorts of biometrics. Facial recognition, gate recognition.

They also get your name, address, etc, if you ever use a credit or debit card, and match it to that. Their system goes and dives and runs everything public about you, as well as they record everything you do, everything you buy, and build that into a dossier. Their loss prevention staff, get alerts about anyone they think needs to be watched.

pretty much all of the big box stores and other large retail chains are using these kinds of systems. hell, Some places have started using “smart” cameras to track how long you stare at the gossip rags while waiting to check out, or the candy as you walk by the candy aisle.

None of this would be very surprising to me but you got a source on this?

Different calibers or different tips?

People have pet theories about the best order of rounds for self defence and stuff.

I bet you’re right it’s just whatever they found but different calibers would surprise me

You can’t? I walked by weed vending machines last time I was in Texas.
