does absolutely no good if they still allow the sale of them. I'll call on everyone, but I doubt it will do any good.

Yeah, they'll most likely be so busy that they won't even come out this way.

This year provides a golden opportunity for government to make its case for a ban on the sale. There's plenty of evidence from New Year's Eve of the drain that private fireworks take on public police and firefighting resources. Write your elected officials and ask them to go for a full ban!

Sounds like a good idea. Hopefully they aren't funded by the fireworks PAC.

as long as they let me shoot the sky then I'm all good for banning fireworks JK not about the fireworks though, I always feared for waking up with a hole in my roof.

How are my dogs going to act on the 4th if there are no fireworks going off until 3 in the morning? Poor babies, they don't fit under the couch, but if they could, that's where they'd be. They get pretty freaked.

Maybe with gas going up so much this year, there won't be as much flammable income to go around.

wishful thinking for my hood.. there has to be a combined total of at least a million dollars spent every 4th and NYE and I wouldn't be surprised if the actual amount insn't at least double, triple, or even more than that..

I thought those 'works were cheap....guess not. They're always advertising "Buy 1 get 1500 free"
