    I really like 4th of July. But I wish fireworks were illegal. Why can’t everyone just buy a cake or have a house party and watch a movie or 2 and call it a night.

      It’s actually growing more and more popular to ban fireworks in cities and counties.

      There are always people that bitch about their right to set off uncontrolled explosives during the height of fire season in residential areas, but overall, it’s truly growing more common to see them banned.

      My city is one, for example. And while it’s awesome to know that you can’t set them off inside the city limits, that doesn’t stop people from crossing the city line and setting shit off in that grocery store parking lot.

        Or maybe fireworks were invented by people who hate their neighbors’ pets.

        And to be fair, both options are safer than just walking around with a torch igniting buildings and people.

          Yes but burning mansions to the ground is also an American tradition.
