American Rounds' new vending machines provide 24/7 ammo access, raising concerns over gun violence and public safety.

American Rounds has installed ammo vending machines in grocery stores across Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas, with plans to expand to Colorado.
The machines use facial recognition and ID scanning to verify buyers' ages and identities, ensuring compliance with federal law.
Critics argue that the convenience of these machines could exacerbate gun violence by making ammunition more accessible.
Supporters claim the machines enhance security and uphold Second Amendment rights by preventing underage and unauthorized sales.
The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between gun rights and public safety measures in the U.S.
