Make fireworks illegal to the general public.
Fireworks should be made available to those who have a valid license. Members of the general public without a license should not be able to purchase fireworks. Fireworks should be used as a display, in safe areas, with notice. Fireworks should not be used in built up areas due to safety precautions.
A license should be held to purchase fireworks as they are an explosive. Its becoming increasingly dangerous for members of the of the general public to purchase fireworks as these can be set off anywhere. Due to the increasingly large numbers of fireworks being let off in built up areas, more residents are at risk. If a license is required for shotguns, cartridges and riffles, bullets; why is a license not needed for fireworks? They are all explosives. The volume of incidents is concerning
