[Misc] Should fireworks be BANNED for the general public?

Burn them

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Licenced events only, too many prats around who use any excuse this time of year until Christmas to have an impromptu fireworks display.

Limiting their use to specific days a year would not be policeable.

Let’s make the world fun free and risk free.

Pointless thread

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Should pointless polls be banned?

Disappointed not one of you bought back any French bangers from Marseille.

I brought back a monkey in a grass skirt whose Willy pops out when you squeeze him.

Some freedoms can be annoying on occasion but they should remain freedoms if used in the correct spirit, abit like GDPR

Sold without restrictions (beyond those controlling the sale to minors) but stronger punishments for those letting them off in public places. Those dickheads are the real problem, not the bloke from number 30 who wants to let off a few rockets and Catherine wheels in his back garden to celebrate his daughters 18th birthday in February.

 

[Durlston]

Only if they can be let off and not charged.

My sons girlfriend brought some that supposedly do not make any loud noise claiming they are better for animals. I suppose this is a step forward for petrified pets

As the plotters would be considered terrorists in the modern world it does seem a strange thing to celebrate.

 

[tedebear]

Yes, sadly the minority always ruin it for the majority. So it has to be licenced.

It's a celebration of catching the 'terrorists'.
It's strange they only burn the effigy and don't hang, draw and quarter it and display the head on a big stick

I don't know about selling them only on November 5th., but a limited period around that time - say a week before Guy Fawkes night - would be fine by me.
More importantly, just make them suitable for back gardens with the kids watching (safely). Those great bombs that you're supposed to dig a hole for - no, no need for them to be on sale to the public.

 

[jackanada]

It's much safer for everyone if I'm allowed to buy them. You really don't want to be near the homemade ones.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

The general public are too stupid, BAN! Only Licensed events.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Might just be me, but it seems to be a lot easier to buy them again after a clamp down for a few years.
