    Thanks for looking it up ! so it’s rare. It’s kind of a relief. I find it disturbing that weapons are so normalized over there. Of course there are legitimate reasons to own a weapon but still

      Yo I have 4 firearms and I find it disturbing too. It’s a huge cultural problem we have that, in my opinion, is one of the reasons we have so many more gun deaths than other nations around the world.

      I’m going to lovingly cradle my SKS and try to not think about it.

      The vending machines are rare, but it’s very normal for stores to stock boxes of ammo on their shelves as there’s no paperwork or restrictions on it’s purchase like with the firearms themselves. I live like a mile from the downtown of ultraliberal Portland Oregon and there are like a dozen stores within a ten minute drive where I can buy a box of rounds.

        Regular family dude several years ago got shot to death by cops at a walmart while carrying a stocked pellet gun around to checkout bc a white person called the cops and described him as angry on the phone. In an open carry state.

        Access is a funny thing. acab.

        Likewise and I’m like a 10 minute walk in almost any direction from buying 1000+ rounds of whatever ammo I want no questions asked.

        NGL it’s pretty fun to go target shooting but holy hell do some people stock up like the “end is nigh” and they’re gonna need to shoot their way out. My local shops have signs now that say only 2 boxes of ammo of any kind per customer per day. Or at least they did the last time I bought ammo. It takes awhile to get through 1000 rounds lol
