Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public.

Background

Purchasing and owning fireworks should not be allowed for the general public. The Government should introduce a law stating that fireworks should only be permitted for professional shows and events - this will mean they are handled safely, cleanly, and at predictable times.

Additional details

The negatives of fireworks outweigh the positives. Every year fireworks do the following: - Stress out animals, often to point of causing death - Trigger people with PTSD and trauma (e.g. soldiers) - Harm those with sensory issues, due to the unpredictable noise - Cause litter that is then left to rot - Flood our already stretched A&Es with unnecessary injuries I understand that they look pretty, however they do more damage than good. Pro shows enable people to still enjoy them, just considerately.
