The chain of idiocy here is truly awe inspiring. Someone came up with this ridiculous idea. They unashamedly made a business proposal. They were taken seriously. They got investors. They somehow got licensing/legal approval, which is my “favorite” part. One of their advertising angles is SAFETY. Now, they intend to expand.

"Hey, can we make some other machines and put beer in it, like they have in Japan?"

... licensing/legal approval ...

Depends entirely on the state. In Illinois, you have to show a FOID card to buy ammo. In Utah, you don't need to show anything to buy a whole gun.

Google search shows you need to show ID to buy a gun in Utah

California requires background checks for ammo.
