it's because they're free to attend. somewhat like parades which are free also. people flock to free events because it's free.Re: Would like to see a fireworks ban
I agree. I don't get the fascination.
Just about every firework sold here is produced in China.Firework ban is Un-American.
Dogs and cats don't belong in peoples home. They belong in the wild like all animals.
That is good. Means we are getting more out of our tax dollars educating people to handle more productive jobs than producing fireworks.Just about every firework sold here is produced in China.

Bird lives matter !!!
Used to be you could get a whole pile of various stuff for $30 or so, now they might want $15+ for one rocket that isn't that great, it's crazy.I just would like fireworks to go back to what they were when i was a kid. just some little sparkly spinning things, maybe some fizzling stuff, sparklers, even simple bottle rockets that just made a light pop were fine.
But over past 20 yrs, especially past 10, the rules on what can be purchased has laxed, and now people fire off what sounds like military mortars. Sounds like shelling going on around the neighborhood.
What's even more crazy is the prices, even 10, 20 yrs ago for that stuff, and there are numerous people all over the neighborhood firing that stuff off weeks before the 4th. Heck, with so many yr round fireworks stores that have pooped up over past 20 yrs, it's like people load up on the top of the line biggest, loudest, booming, explosive stuff, and be firing it off on Easter, Memorial weekend, 4th, Labor day weekend, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas, New years, Bdays, etc.
I don't know how they afford it.

I guess some guy here in mpls killed himself setting off fireworks last night. Not the end of the world however.
Apparently he was holding a mortar and it went off and hit him in the head.Quite the finale

Im glad they went off sideways in simi valley, now the people know how the birds feel.
They're pretty pricey, even though everyone has a buy 1 get 1 promo.Bump.
This thread is among my EOG / Railbird Top Ten.
I'm not hearing nearly as many fireworks as during past years. The trend has been falling for several years, thankfully.
Maybe the costs and Biden's inflation are changing discretionary spending.
Not very often I'm on the side of the thugs but this is one of them. Let the kids have a little fun.
