What are they going to ban next? Halloween, saying that too many children are getting sick from eating too much candy? You cannot ban fireworks because of a couple of incompetent people who don’t think. You are only throwing grease on a burning fire! The result is only going to end in illegal fireworks and more and more people being angered by the show of patriotism many will show no matter what, even if that means going to jail. Either way I will find a way to shoot off my fireworks, even if that means going to another city to do so.
