OK, peoples......for those that live in my area, some fireworks are legal, but are confined to be used for the week prior and week after July 4th only. And some of these users are NOT rednecks. They are patriotic people who are using them as a display for the kid's enjoyment. Pretty, sparkly displays. So, being the devil's advocate here, I have to defend their right to use them RESPONSIBLY. I know our animals are impacted by this, as my own were last night. But the neighbor's display was within the law, and we weathered it thro.
I agree that many people abuse the right, but I'd hate to see one more anything banned, outlawed, etc. by the government.
