Title: Re: Fireworks Post by: The Camel on November 02, 2017, 01:51:02 AM There really is no need for private individuals to have fireworks.
Firework sets you buy from Tesco are really crap and just cause a nuisance in the wrong hands. Public displays are far better and safer. Title: Re: Fireworks Post by: PokerBroker on November 02, 2017, 07:37:05 AM For sale to the general public yes.
Title: Re: Fireworks Post by: Doobs on November 02, 2017, 07:47:10 AM No. Gambling, cars and drinking would be way higher if public damage was the criteria. Distressing cats and a fair proportion of the dog population can only be a good thing.
Crappy Tesco fireworks are fine for kids, maybe ban all the ones that say stand 25 yards away.

I've chosen to believe that you are joking. I should have got off those aces BTW ;djinn; Title: Re: Fireworks Post by: MintTrav on November 02, 2017, 09:54:28 AM Ban.
They are dangerous and too many people don't handle them properly. Thousands of unnecessary injuries can be avoided by getting rid. Backyard fireworks displays are usually rubbish anyway. |
