You are brave to go across the border into Brooklyn but have a great time.

I have heard this before about the fireworks being to mask reports of gunfire.

I was sure that after the Boston marathon bombing there would be a huge change in the fireworks industry, mostly because so of the bigger fireworks would make excellent packing in a pvc pipe bomb or pressure cooker, but it didn't happen. Your assessment seems logical, if not for destruction, a better diversion of police forces, my only disagreement would be that coming into suburban areas or even smaller rural towns would be--we WILL shoot first, and we have plenty of scoped deer rifles. 🤠

Pasadena had a house burn down last night from fireworks.

But in Brooklyn, they also use them to attack the homeless:

I would think that fireworks in mass quantities could also be used for bombings and other terror attacks, too.

The whole “only these white people will be spared - more later...” line makes the entire thing BS to me.

Cities & towns.

Rural areas outside city limits diffent.

Texas legislature, back in the 80's allowed municipal to extend their limits to extreme distances.

People who once where in unincorporated rural areas found themselves under city ordinances and taxes with out their approval.

Such also restricted their ability to fire range practice and hunt their property.

Perhaps it’s just experience but I can easily differentiate gunfire from fireworks.

The ban/prohibition of possession of fireworks began in the mid 70's due home fires of houses with cedar shake shingles that were common from the mid sixties to the later 70's when they were not allowed by code for new homes or replacement roofs.

At first, they outlawed bottle rockets and then went to full ban of possession of any firework.

Well...I am totally under a rock :)

Which part of TX has cedar shake shingles?

That’s odd...real Cedar Shake house siding is still available from my local Lowe’s and Home Depot.

Fireworks and Ak-47 celebratory wedding gunfire have both been banned however.

Siding vs Roofing is not the same thing.

The problem the terrorists are going to encounter is that professional fireworks are very dangerous.

This could end very badly for many of them, but not for us.

That said, I will keep my eyes and ears open and watch things very carefully.

The comments at the link are pretty crass but most people are sick of it.

Very few homes still have long lasting cedar shake roofing.

My home was originally cedar shake.

FYI, fireworks in Texas can be sold June 24th - July 4th in unincorporated or non restricted areas.
