They’ll be put in schools next.

90,585 days without a national health service.

For fucks sake America.

The bullet machines will be for the campus law enforcement, the tots won't get to use them.

But they will get to try out the tech in cafeterias, so that they'll be more conveniently denied a free lunch.

Myopic of them. We've seen cops respond to school shooters by cowering. The only thing that can stop a bad tot with a gun is a good tot with a gun.

248yrs. Nice, you did the maths.

Nice. You said maths!

I doubt so, since those vending machines require a face scan and ID verification for proof of age. Also those are two things that would make me decline to use such a machine.

They should put them in the duty free part of airports.
