Sparklers and home fireworks are illegal in most places. When people get burned and go to the emergency room, they should be met by police. My best friend lost a home because of a neighbor’s illegal fireworks setting his house on fire. I have no sympathy for law breakers of any kind. And there is no excuse for this because you can’t go 20 miles anywhere without a municipal fireworks display.
One should really get a life.
Then if your really from NJ I fully understand
Please stay in NJ. You deserve each other
As far as I can remember back sparklers have never been illegal...at least in all of Michigan. Fireworks are like firearms. The vast majority who use them are polite, courteous and follow the legal rules. But there's always few. The municipal comment reminds me of "The government has plenty of guns for our protection...citizens don't need them."
and anything south of Maryland is just entirely distasteful - we shoot guns down here on Independence Day.....
the kind your betters determined you weren't trusted to own.
I think you’re really on to something here. We also should send the police to any place that sells guns and have them all confiscated because children might see them. The military and police already have all the guns necessary.
Have a Happy Independence Day. Hopefully Governor Christie will get your New Jersey State Park beaches re-opened. Don’t forget your sunscreen. We wouldn’t want the children to get a sunburn.
What a wanker. Please don’t move to Texas. We’ve got enough issues with the California people coming to Austin. We don’t need to compound it it with this nonsense.

You should really know what you’re talking about, before you make such a blanket statement. Especially such a panty waste one.
Now go grab your binky and enjoy the day.
When you rant about things that may apply where you are and assume they are the same everywhere- or should be...you sound like a liberal.
Fireworks are legal in my state. You can certainly drive 20 miles in any direction from my house and not find a municipal fireworks display, or a municipality for that matter. In fact you could drive 50 miles from my house and if you aren’t headed in the right direction you still won’t find a municipal fireworks display.
We have had many private fireworks shows over the years and have never burned anything down, up or otherwise destroyed anything. No one has had to go to the ER either.
I am the first one to agree that not everyone can be trusted with fireworks, and they truly do have the potential to be dangerous.
Then, thankfully, I obviously don’t live in most places. Especially, NJ. Here, in Texas, the neighbors all around have been celebrating since June 23. Even in the middle of the day they set off such big BOOMS the house shakes. Every night, private individuals have had just as big fireworks displays as the city. There was one right across from us last night. A guy in the subdivision to the north of us has a huge one annually and everyone comes from miles around. The subdivision to the south has been constant non stop for a week and a half.
Was at the doctor yesterday and she said the same thing around her neighborhood.
Nope.
In fact our church youth group runs a fireworks tent and manages to make enough to cover their activities for the rest of the year.
Our neighbor will do his own fireworks display tonight same as he has for the past decade and everyone will sit out and enjoy the show.
Not illegal in Florida...we got stores selling fireworks.
Get real, realist!
There is nothing like setting them off yourself and smelling the smoke up close and personal.
We shoot our own guns here in Georgia as well. I guess you'll just see them in the movies, where they don't sound like the real thing.
