You know how insane this looks to someone who was born and raised in that culture?
Fucking nuts.
Who are you people? I’m not even a huge hunter or anything, but ammo for sale in a grocery store is pretty mundane in places where hunting is common. Have you ever left your suburb?
I lived in several countries and visited many more. Ammo for sale in a grocery store isn’t considered normal in most countries…
Different countries have different things they consider normal and in particularly diverse countries like the US, different regions in the same country have different ideas of normal. For example you won’t see live bait being sold in London or Paris grocery stores, but seeing that for sale in Louisianna outside of New Orleans (or even inside it) is extremely mundane and normal.
It is real fucking off kilter to have these things in a country where children are mass murdered by bullets so often. The bullets were already legally purchasable but putting them in a vending machine really makes it obvious that in this country the Almighty Gat is as available and ubiquitous as Coca Cola. We’re a sick people willing to allow another middle man between us and the sale of some bullets so we can have it dispensed out of a cool vending machine like in my favorite action-adventure roleplaying video game title Cyberpunk 2077.
Who is “we.” And vending machines have been available since before your favorite video game depicted them. I had a vending machine for shotgun shells in my high school like 25 years ago. We did skeet shooting and if you needed a few more rounds you could go buy some ammo instead of having to go off campus for it. The whole thing is extremely mundane.
e: The vending machine was actually an old cigarette vending machine heh.
Perhaps theres a difference between your shotgun shell vending machine in school (still fucked up; if the rounds were for extracurriculars why did they charge you for it?) 25 years ago and the current world with its bi-monthly mass child sacrifices to Mammon. Different contexts. Now such a thing is definitely gaudy and flagrently disregards the countrys gun violence problem and how many people are dying so these gun industry fucks can get their jollies.
Edit: you conveniently misconstrued a factoid from your youth to make my argument against out of control gun culture seem fallacious and I don’t love that.
Dude, every aspect of every extra curricular is charged to the student. Football costs parents hundreds. Schools don’t have the budget to pay their teachers, they aren’t doing shit for students that’s not legislated
Forget January 6th so soon?
