No. Even God doesn't protect everyone from the consequences of their own stupidity.

In some areas, like in places where fire is a danger, especially in the summer time, yes. I Used to live in a place that had very bad fire seasons and yes, it was against the law to set off fireworks in most of the county. But it was okay to sell fireworks in two small towns, for charity (church groups and Boy Scouts). But then people would buy them from there and then use them everyone and we'd always have fires springing up for 2-3 weeks around 4th July. One fire was 30,000 acres.

Just because something can be used for malicious intent doesn't mean that it should be banned entirely; the vox populi of fireworks users are good, law abiding people of the United States. Likewise banning it will only cause people to purchase them illegally. :S

Fireworks shouldn't be banned cuz people like to watch them and they are fun but if people would stop shooting them at other people and stuff they would be more safer and little kids like fireworks im pretty sure they wouldn't like them to be tooken away or w/e

Surely. they make so much pollution.
by strange1 still in pb on November 3rd, 2009
not at all
by DudeLer 2 on October 20th, 2009
yes, because they release toxic heavy metals into the environment just for amusement. People get fined for dropping a beer can on the sidewalk.

Nah, anyone stupid enough to misuse them has only enough arms to do so twice. :3
by Factotum on October 19th, 2009
No, I think one very short season per year is a perfect way to both enjoy them and limit the damage they can cause.
by Torrie Chick on October 20th, 2009
yes they are releasing bad fumes into the ozone and they're noicy and disturbing. also they cause fires and your pets to go nuts, they're not that great either.
by Sir Mikey phyliss 3rd cousin on October 20th, 2009
No, they are only enjoyed once a year, and I like lighting them up once a year with the kids. All the time maybe not..

Why? They're excellent tools for awarding the Darwin Award.
by sooz74 on October 20th, 2009
Not banned, but subject to regulations (though these are hard to enforce). I think a licence should be required to use them and they should be restricted to certain times of year such as halloween. My biggest beef with fireworks is how badly they frighten my animals. They go 24/7 around halloween and new years.
by Fiddle Playing Creole Bastard on October 20th, 2009
Nope.
by Ron-T on October 19th, 2009

In the US, some cities and burbs ban private use of fireworks around the 4th of July. Are they allowed or not in the UK & Oz?
