Peter Holley: A New Vending Machine Sells Bullets Next Door to a Middle School: Its owner says the devices—which he plans to introduce to grocery stores across Texas—make it impossible for minors to buy bullets. Critics say the machines feel like “something out of a dystopian novel.”
"Asked about the concern that some Canyon Lake residents have expressed about the machine’s proximity to a middle school, the manager didn’t mince words: “Do you really think a 13-year-old could buy ammo from that thing considering how secure it is?; he asked. 'There’s been some concern in the community, but I don’t see it happening.' But not everyone in town shares the manager’s confidence. 'if young people are coming in here with a fake ID or someone is a criminal, how are you going to stop them?' asked a gun owner and Canyon Lake resident who identified himself as Terry. “Personally, I think it goes too far.'"
