Background

Purchasing and owning loud fireworks should not be allowed for the general public. The Government should introduce a law stating that noisy 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. 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 If the government think fireworks should remain something 18+ folks can purchase, they should limit the harm they do to animals and PTSD sufferers and those who more easily face sensory overload.
