"We do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners," the Biden campaign told ABC News on Saturday.
I was responding to your idea that the ammo might be less secure depending on where it is located. That's true, but the machine itself isn't any more unsecure than the current way ammo is stored for sale. If the machine is located in the same kinds of places as ammo is currently sold, I don't see an inherent issue.
If it's in the same locations that ammo is currently sold in, then the machine itself seems no more insecure. I suppose if a current shelf full on ammo is left on the street outside a 7-11, the ammo would also disappear.
I believe it is the part where it scans the person's face to see if it matches the ID that is being called AI. I don't know if that meets the technical definition or not, but that's what they marketing is calling AI here.
Considering ammo is currently sold by sitting openly on shelves, or maybe locked behind a plexiglass shield with the same kind of security lock used to guard shampoo, I don't see how the vending machine is easier to steal from.
It's not ideal, but it's not an impossible hinderance. The picture has a low power variable scope. At magnified levels, the front sight post becomes a thin shadow in the lower half. Noticeable but doesn't impact much. At 1x magnification the front sight post does reach to where the reticle is, but the target area is still viewable.
With an LPVO the front sight post isn't usable since the 1x setting isn't "true 1x" but has a tiny amount of distortion, however with a red dot, the front sight post is still crisp, which means that if the dot dies it is easy to look through the optic and use the front sight.
When shooting with both eyes open for close range with an optic you get so much information from both eyes that the blockage by the post is essentially edited out by your brain.
The standard service issue M16 and M4s have/had fixed front sight posts and have been issued with optics for decades.
The answer to the original riddle is "Sure, can I have your phone to make a demonstration. Great. I'll sell the phone and pen back as a package deal for $100."
