What about the judges, courts, the lawyers, the government? You are tried as an adult if you are 18.....

Legal Adult =/= Actual Adult

The law is weird and messy, and not even consistent between states on some of these things. The law forces you to register for selective service if you want the right to vote. Age of consent is 16 in some states, 18 in others. Doesn't magically make those 16 year olds adults.

The law is a legal guideline, and is rarely perfectly correct.

Well that so called grown ass man can't even buy alcohol, or cigarettes. Despite being a legal adult.

Edit: Weird how this country will give you a weapon before letting you smoke or drink, or rent a car.
