Obviously, the safety issue is very important. But, I don't know a single gun owner who doesn't know when and where he/she can safely fire their weapons.
Why do it?
1. Americas revolution was an armed revolution -- and not a fireworks display -- that led to the freedom of this nation. People died. People gave 'their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.'
2. Fireworks are nice, pretty, a crowd pleaser. And, for a country that understands their past, present, and future freedom, fireworks are a good reminder. When our own Veterans Administration can't remember that "Independence Day" is not the 3rd of July, it is time to rattle the cage a bit. And, honestly, how many think beer, hot grill, and firecrackers instead of 'Give me liberty or give me death!' ? I'd say the vote comes down enormously on the side of scorched hot dogs.
3. Our Freedoms are under attack. Fire your weapons on the 4th, America's Militia! Let them know you're armed and lethal. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
I sorta wish i cold save a lot time money oh never mind be safe happy 4th
