Allot of people enjoy them. I keep mortars in my ruck sack in case of emergency. The ability to purchase or use fireworks should not be any different then purchasing a gun of which I have for many reasons. There are idiots everywhere we as Americans should stop trying to protect them and let survival of the fittest do it's job. First of all not everyone that uses fireworks are uneducated.

How does getting drunk in bars have anything to do with either fireworks or firerms, other than drunks have been known to do stupid things with both? FYI, Rufus:

But I haven't seen masses of children with mangled hands, homes ablaze or cats and dogs living together in anarchy. Just one more good thing for the govt to leave alone and let people decide for themselves. I’ve lived in quite a few places where fireworks were legal.

Its like marijuana, the people that choose to do it, do it anyway. People will continue to launch their own fireworks, just as they have during the ban. If you don't like them, sit in your house and watch TV while the rest of us celebrate, or go to a public fireworks display. Make them legal.
