In a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the senators say American Rounds’ AI-enabled ammunition vending machines carry “inherent risks.”
AI-enabled ammunition vending machines could facilitate mass shootings and let people circumvent federal bans prohibiting people with certain criminal convictions from buying ammunition, two senators warn. Massachusetts Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives asking it to “closely examine” facial recognition-enabled ammunition vending machines that have recently been installed in supermarkets in certain states.
” Markey and Warren’s letter says these machines carry “inherent risks,” including possibly allowing people who are barred from purchasing guns and ammo under federal law — including people with convictions for felonies or domestic violence misdemeanors and people with active domestic violence-related restraining orders — to circumvent these restrictions. The letter also says that eliminating face-to-face sales means there’s no opportunity to identify straw purchases.
