Fuck no. I want my fireworks and they SHOULD be loud. If they can be illegally loud, even better.
We should avoid to become a society shuffling our feet quietly because someone might take offense at our footsteps.
Pet owner: I shovel the shit of your cat out of my yard, and the occasional molested bird, on a frequent basis. No problem, and when two tomcats are having a late night cat concerto in my garden, love it, no problem. You, dogowner, let your dogs run free in my No Dogs Allowed park where they shit all over the play meadows and scare children. Thats cool, OK, you don't want your dog to be a wuss, I'm fine with that.
But my July 4th/Guy Fawkes/Newyears fireworks are suddenly a problem?
You who drive a too big car to the grocery store, who runs the AC with the window open, toss out your furniture and your kitchen every other year because a magazine tells you so, comment on my bottle rocket adding to pollution?
And then you bring your pets, your babies, old folks, war veterans, the wildlife your cat almost genocided out of existence and your developmentally retarded grandchildren into the fact that you just are, well, a wuss about fireworks and loud noises scare you because you totally buy into the fear culture that the news media are pumping into your brain?
Sorry but no.
There will be fireworks and they will be loud.
You had the whole year to get your kids, your old folks, your pets used to fireworks, get them to a "safe" location or get them Cat Valium on the one day in the whole year you knew all your life that there would be fireworks, you did nothing of the sort to protect your so called helpless loved ones, so now I'm expected to hush it?
No thank you. TODAY IS NOT-SO-QUIET DAY
I ask you, how do you feel about this? Too bold, or right on? Parties should be loud, to let the joy come out.

I'm OK, I just thought I'd throw out a passionate rant. Don't worry about me and focus on the topic.

I am all for fireworks the more the better and loud adds to the excitement. The only issue I have is people that don't know how to safely use them. I had a firework land on my wooden deck and exploded there (luckily no fire damage). Yes I have dogs which were in the house and of course they were freaked out. Luckily my wife and I were not on the deck at the time or we would have been injured. This action did upset me and just to be clear it wasn't that they were lighting fireworks or the noise but rather they didn't know how to use them safely and could have caused serious damage or injury. So in summary let them rip but lets be safe.

Fireworks offer 0 entertainment value to me, but I don't really care about people using them a few days out of the year.
The idea of trying to shelter your kids from the noise of fireworks is beyond pathetic Even if they have PTSD or something, its an unreasonable accommodation, sink or swim

Back in the day my cousin and I used to fill big plastic bags with propane and oxygen. We would go on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere and blow them up. Needless to say everyone in the area was complaining about extremely loud fireworks. Good times

you plan on sending out the puppy anti anxiety meds, my dog could use them any time there's a storm, hunting season, the neighbors having a party and of course the fireworks
today I have to replace my bedroom door because my retarded but lovable pooch wanted in my room to get away from the fireworks, she's been on edge for the last 4 days because of the fireworks. but the kids have fun and it only cost me $200 more than I actually spent
as for PTSD and fireworks...

this made me 
I was at a family shindig (my wife's side) and it finally got dark so people all started going outside for fireworks. My wife and I head out as well and everyone, like 10 people are standing on the sidewalk watching neighbors like 20 houses down shoot off ground blooms and such. Nobody had purchased any. I ask, "should we walk closer to see them?" My wife's mom replied 'no this is good enough' or something.
So here we are, 12 people standing in darkness on a neighborhood sidewalk watching shitty fireworks from hundreds of yards away. So I say "anyone want to start a pool for some fireworks, I can drive out to Laughlin (half jokingly)". My brother in law replies, "no thanks, I don't support illegal fireworks in any way, like any way whatsoever."
I'm like , and turn to my wife asking quietly, ummm what are we doing out here?? She's like I don't know this is weird were just standing here. So the two of us just walked back inside. Weirdest fireworks experience in my life haha.

hahaha, are they illegal in your area? Idk what the legality of them is where I'm at in the city. I think it's easy to assume they are illegal in my city however I'm not sure about the county.
I went to a friends house we shot off like 7 or 8 bottle rockets (he lives in the county). Not one of them would go up into the air. They are left overs I had from last year when I bought them they were faulty- had no idea when buying. Another person I knew made the same mistake last year from the same place as me.. so I only brought a tiny bit to my friends house yesterday. We shot those, it was nasty hot and extremely humid out side. I mean you could be perfectly fine indoors then step outside for 5 minutes and you would be sweating like crazy.
Anyways after the bottle rockets me and my friend shot this bad boy a few times (living in the county this is legal to shot gun's)

I feel it was louder than most the fireworks. That ammo is expensive. Only a few times then back indoors... it was so nasty hot out side.. I mean just bad. I do not wish that type of mugginess on anyone trying to enjoy the 4th...

the recently made them legal in georgia for the stuff that's fun, I bought a bunch of mortars, 1.5"-2" or so, anyway we're lighting them off, they're getting about 75 feet in the air and making small but pretty lights and about 25 or so in and I set one in the tube, I touch the fuse off and scamper back to where the kids were. it started as expected, the shell launched, made it about 10 feet up and exploded. I spent the next 10 minutes stomping out small fires before we started again

I have seen that happen before in person my self. I'm not sure what to think of fireworks if they should be allowed in city's or only in county areas or whatever. I enjoy it tho I like the sound's, it's for me kind of like how people like the sound of rain.
Yea how should we view fireworks? I enjoy them but I have not a clue how to view it in a legal sense- what's right or wrong or if it's supporting freedom to use them or not or if it's not because you might or might not be violating other people.
Are you in support of them or not? Maybe partially?
I imagine some people are okay with ones that stay on the ground.. other's ones that go up in the air.. I see nothing wrong with smoke bombs other than pollution which does not really matter anyway's I suppose compared to pollution that already happens.. I mean it's just smoke right.. chimneys do the same thing but worse..
I enjoy them but yea.. idk, that's why I'm asking you what you think on a stand point of how to view it within regards to freedom and holding in the balance the idea of not violating other peoples lives and such.
legal or illegal, I still enjoy it every time the 4th comes around hehe.

Fireworks are legal..
But these aren't. Of course the grownup side of me is responsible enough to just, like, stick with fireworks that won't get me arrested.

Haha that explosive was huge.
Yes! That gun only cost me $200! It's British ehhehe
bought it out side a vape shop.... took it to the gun store next door he said it was a great buy and original. However I showed it to some one else and they think the wood was replaced because it's in such good condition. It goes for $450+ online
