Cars, planes, guns, non-chucks, karate expert, etc are all lethal weapons. Therefore, to get a drivers license for a car, plane requires demonstration of knowledge, safety, etc.
It's the person in charge that makes it into a weapon, or something else of value to humans, e.g protection from a deranged hijacker, gun, etc.
If people would start using cars or airplanes on a regular basis to do murder, then they would start banning them. Sorry weak analogy.
Both the Buffalo shooter and the Texas shooter were 18 years old. For many states that's too young to buy alcohol and tobacco. At least treat lethal weapons like those at minimum
One major difference

A car or a plane is not
