Should they be banned?

Well hi, yes it just so happens to Easter Sunday, and here I am taking time away from my family and friends so I can come write a blog on the Internet! YAY!

So this week, we can cover just about anything, and mine is going to be Fireworks and should they be illegal to own (unlike some states). I am pro-fireworks guy, as I build my own, and am part of several groups for the safe use of fireworks. So, for anyone who thinks they should be illegal, I would love to hear your thoughts.

Well, the first thing people come to say on why they should be banned, is they're DANGEROUS. I will agree with this statement, but this gives you no action to ban something for this reason alone. Anything is dangerous when used in a different matter than appropriate. I use drano to unclog my sink, not to drink (thats dangerous). I use my car to drive from A to B, but not to hit walls, objects, or go above the speed limit, Thats Dangerous. I use a can of Duster to clean my computer keyboard, not inhale to get high (that can kill you). The point is, Anything can be dangerous if used in an inappropriate manner. If you need more examples, I have Many many more.

The second, They're loud! This is another thing I can agree with you on. Fireworks are loud, but so is that barking dog that you keep outside all night! The thing with fireworks, in almost every state, they are only available for purchase for only two weeks, the week before July 4th and the week during. Anything other than those two weeks requires a city permit for display which your town has approved of, and strict guidelines are set that they are done before midnight, away from houses, et cetera. Its not like fireworks last all night long, for the most part :)...

Thirdly, Fire!! Yes, fireworks cause fires, this applies to the common sense and used appropriately field. It is illegal to buy/sell/light fireworks in city limits (for buildings that might start on fire) If you light them in-town, your breaking the law, using them inappropriately. During the season, it gets hot, easily starts fires outside of town, your weather channel may set a fire ban if its too dry and may start a fire, which must be abided by.

So far, I think i have covered every Major issue with fireworks on why they are banned in some states. If fireworks are used in an appropiate manner with some common sense and safety, they are an art form that IS appreciated by the masses.
