He Won't Do That Again

I might agree to more regulations on people's lack of common sense and negligence, when they ban all vehicle that go faster than say, 25 miles per hour.
 
Fortunately cars are regulated at least to the point of licensing and ya' drink in em' and that could mean big trouble with the law. And cars are necessary, well ,to a point anyway. Highs speeds? they seem like too much to me too. I just hope they are using their statistics wisely.

If they did the same with fireworks as cars, probably wouldn't need the regulation so much, whether it be common sense regulation or out and out..
 
Geez one of my friends used to hold Black-Cats in his fingers (by the very end) and light them. I thought he was nuts for THAT.

a license for fireworks? simply for purchasing firecrackers?
 
Jason, I'd guess that would be for the more powerful ones as far as I'm concerned but I think you have to have a license here to buy them.

Ed, I had a firecracker go off in my hand (shows what good regulations do lol) and don't even recall it burning me. It was accidental of course and was held by fingertips where there is not a lot of compression.... rang my ears bigtime. If someone were to hold one tight in their fist, that might create a problem but a burning fuse likely won't allow that as it would cause one to OUCH!....open their hand if it was an accident....could happen though.

I'm not doing any of that stuff on purpose.
 
but that guy with all the fireworks in his trunk didn't ask for my license...;)

A license wouldn't ensure common sense, lol. Even training does not ensure safety.

Allow my fav DEA agent to demonstrate:

a mortar that is legal here, isn't that big. you cant buy them here. we can buy them online. yes whacky. but other states where it is legal its buyable here online
 
I was looking at the picture in the article and some of those things look 3 times the size of an m-80 or more.

How many of those would it take to make an official stick of dynamite?
 
where do we stop. how many still walk and text? next up licenses for cell phones?

you can make an bomb out of a lot of things. banning it isn't the answer. shoot I have watch vidoes of simple arty simulators set to go off in a truck and one was set to go off and the box of 30 was just next to and then boom. the truck was destroyed. arty simulators make noise then explode , they aren't much more powerful then a firecracker

More people are killed by negligent and reckless drivers than by fireworks and guns combined. It seems the only things some people want to regulate are the things They don't use.

or are afraid of. i will not buy fireworks. it was hard enough for me to be as close as i was this year. in the video i need to post you will hear me talk about living near veteran's island and shaking when they would fire them. this year at the finale, i was in the bathroom at young's park and it got close to where i might have had a problem.

No but common sense is knowing automatically, that way they are taught and don't have too know automatically. Now if they just have the common sense to remember it. :)

Woah!, on the DEA guy, at least he wasn't with the ATF, THAT would be embarrassing, or even more so.

"I'm the only one professional enough" LOL!

Precisely why I never like to refer to myself as a professional anything...anything can happen.

Hold this m-80 right there, Lewis, and don't worry, I'm a professional.

Should we ban gun powder so that people who reload their own bullets can't? That is what is used in fireworks, also known as black powder. Dynamite is a totally different explosive material.

PTSD?
 
I think all we have enough common sense to know where we'd be without some sort of regulation/rules.

I won't even get into this one with you or anyone.

There are so many aspects and ways of looking at it, we'd both come off being right as often as being wrong. :)

But are you saying we should have no regulations, surely you aren't

On what's used for gun powder being different than dynamite, is one explosion less than the other?
