Nice, that first one is right next to a bank too. So if you show up to rob the place, but forgot your ammo, then you're set!

vending machine that sells bullets

Sometimes I truly do love the absurdity of my country

All you need is a frequency modulator and to send four pulses of a specific amplitude at the right time in sequence, and then all the bullet costs are discounted.

"¡Muchos gracias, señor!"

I agree with Chirs Rock that you shouldn't worry so much about regulating guns as much as regulating ammunition. This was a terrible idea.

You mean like... buying ammo online?

I guess the local sales organizations couldn't let online stores have take over the entire dystopian market.

What happens if the building with this vending machine catches fire?

Or if someone throws a molitov cocktail at it?

But voting machines are safe, right? /s
