I swear I didn’t give that kid the M80.
“they make something beautiful instead of death” Agreed, but your neighbor’s kid’s fingers might not agree after that M-80

I don’t believe fireworks should be retailed to the public in any form. They’re a very different story from an aeriel display put on by professionals.

About 41,000 Americans die in fatal car accidents, with another 289,000 injured in 2022 alone, from distracted driving. If we are going to be banning dangerous things, heavy consumer cars and trucks should probably be right up there.

No, but as a general rule in society we think that explosives are dangerous things, yet we happily sell them to teenagers who blow out stuff or light them horizontally pointed at other people.
I don’t like fireworks, but when it’s done by professionals I at least know that no one will be intentionally hurt by it. I don’t think they should be entirely banned, but I think that they should be regulated, anything even remotely as dangerous as most fireworks already is.
