When we were 7 we didn't want lightsabers to slice people, we wanted to be cool. Second, about when in Rome, I lived in the US for 13 years without really seeing an unholstered gun (I did see them holstered on cops) except for that one time that someone put some on the table after dinner to show off his latest eBay purchases. You can be in the US and not hold guns, trust me. But to the meat here: you describe both revulsion and fascination, not interest and disinterest. I say go, there's something to confront here.
