In some states they are illegal and are supposed to have extra patrols out on the streets to had out ticket or warning. People every year have fingers,eyes and other injuries take place or injure some one else or start a fire. Even at professional displays there are EMTs and firef ighters on seen. Humans are disobedient to the core and no one is going to tell them what to do and that's when their sober, when not sober look out as this stuff can happen. By the way just for fun, anyone know the last time a women managed to pull this off? Just saying!

Pull what off? Just because he got his head blasted off doesn't mean he pulled it off.

Just because you call someone a liberal doesn't make them a liberal. A true liberal's goals are freedom for ordinary people. Freedom from oppression by rich people who buy the government to use it as a weapon against ordinary people to rob them and oppress them.

There are laws covering this already:

Laws of Nature...nature culls the herd.
The laws of supply and demand....currently we're overstocked on idiots.
Murphy's Law...well...anyone could have predicted THIS outcome.

These loud explosive firecrackers are dangerous to people's hearing. I know from first hand experience. I wish they would all be outlawed which I know isn't going to happen. If these things were only set off the weekend of the fourth that would be manageable, but idiots set them off all hours throughout the summer. No one should have to be blasted out of their home due to other people's idea of "fun." I've never understood the appeal of these things. It's a deafening loud noise...big whoop.... oh boy I did something great by setting one off.

My wife remembers shooting off fireworks with her uncle.

He would take his cigarette out of his mouth, light the firecracker, throw the firecracker, and put the cigarette back in his mouth.

Except for that time he lit the firecracker, threw the cigarette, and lost all his front teeth.

(Emphasis added)
So just as George Orwell expressed it in 1984,

"We're all equal here, but some are more equal than others."

What you propose is nothing more than rule by a gang of thugs (presumably, with you and those you deem your friends as the more influential among the thugs).

I'm prepared to wait a very long time for your reply to this point.

Mom Demands ‘Tougher Fireworks Laws’ After Son Lights Them Off Head and Dies

I am sorry this woman lost her son. I blame it on his age and alcohol.
That mother sounds like the type who'd claim their stupid son was "turning their life around" after being killed while in commission of a robbery. The mother is in denial about the idiot she raised.
