I love fireworks but keep them in organized displays. I now believe selling fireworks directly to the public should be banned. I don't have a problem with displays for all kinds of celebrations, several times a year, but the firing of fireworks for weeks on end, in the street and into the early hours MUST stop. It is upsetting to most animals and small children, endangering lives and must cost a fortune. Please, enough is enough. Ban the sale of fireworks unless a license is obtained by the organizer.
