    Seriously, why are fireworks illegal?

    I mean, blowing things up is something us Americans are good at. Our forefathers loved to blow things up. Our current administration really likes to blow things up. Aren't they setting an example for us to follow?

    Why take away the one thing that we can all do well? It just doesn't seem right.

              Well, the concept of government has changed since the Founding Fathers. Now, the state has to be in every sphere of human activity. Regulations. Taxes. You name it. The county by county firework regulation/ordnance is just one aspect of this.

                      What is stupid is that you can buy them, but you can't blow them... they make money from selling them to you, but you can't use them.

                                      Yeah, most counties that sell them don't let you blow them up in that county. You have to go elsewhere.

                                          You could slip in the shower and break your neck. Happens all the time. Should they outlaw showers?

                                              They have the same type of regulations in Hawaii... you can own and raise fighting birds (aka fighting cocks...the avian variety ) but you can't hold cockfights.

                                                  Yeah, I mean the good stuff, not the safe and sane crap.

They were illegal in Arizona, but now I'm in NORCAL and I see the booths popping up all over the place. I can't wait to go shopping.

Another looked like a shack that shot shit out for 2-3 minutes that was called Redneck Party. But, the coolest was probably the one that was a little bigger around than a coffee can that had a bunch of smaller circles inside. When the fuse was lit it rotated through the smaller holes sending pyrotechnics skyward.

Another looked like a shack that shot shit out for 2-3 minutes that was called Redneck Party. But, the coolest was probably the one that was a little bigger around than a coffee can that had a bunch of smaller circles inside. When the fuse was lit it rotated through the smaller holes sending pyrotechnics skyward.

A trip to the Indian reservation here has all you can want and its legal to light them so long as you arent in the city limits. Gamble on the reservation, get drunk, lose money then drive home and light off some cannons....

The only reason they are illegal is to protect us from ourselves.
