I am pretty sure, in many parts of the United States, an 18 year old can purchase a gun at a store, even if it is the first gun they have ever touched.

they still know that guns are dangerous. and they can tell the difference between a toy gun and a real one. they can't however tell the difference between an app that can be trusted, and an app that will steal their money.

By contrast, they think the 4 ton death machines are a really cool way to impress girls and that's what they're used for. Similar in Europe, by the way.
Not that there's any shortage of people who think guns are a cool way to impress girls.
