@Works925 – Neighborhood fireworks were very rare 50 years ago. I suspect these days people have more disposable income, teenagers and young adults have more access to transportation, and fireworks are easier to find and buy. 50 years ago, or 1974, most households had one car, one land line phone that was in a central area of the house, and no Internet. There was much more accountability.
Not sure where you get that from .. 50 years ago we used to close our street on both ends and light off fireworks all day and night. Did it 40 years ago as well.
If you haven’t gotten it by now you never will. It’s not about rights, it’s about your fkn home potentially catching fire.
I came close to losing my home from some either entitled or ignorant, and most likely inebriated, neighbors shooting off fireworks next to Lime Ridge.
Please learn. Thanks in advance for the thumbs down.
Did you mean “because” of the stupid careless people?
You should be careful when calling other people stupid & careless or some smart-ass will call you out on it.
Well 50 years ago I don’t know what neighborhood or area and income your family had but our family had 3 cars and every year huge block parties lighting off fireworks. In 1974 5’6 and into the 80s every year going to Chinatown to get trunk loads of fireworks and bringing them back into Walnut Creek and lighting them all off with the rest of the neighborhood of about 50 houses.

A reminder that no one follows this…
The only thing that liberals hate more than this country is fun.

We don’t get to use fireworks and firecrackers being of the stupid careless people who misuse them and cause problems.

That’s not a law. We never voted on it. Your little regulations don’t mean anything. It’s called independence day.
Jaywalking is illegal too just saying
Happy Birthday America!
Children don’t play with fireworks!!! Let the adults who have been drinking all day do it!! 😉
Should have set sign up on state streets.
