[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fireworks are legal in dc. Don’t like it? Move. Or run for office and change the law. They are illegal in Moco and PG so those complaints are illegal.

People complaining in dc are disgusting gentrifiers. Looking for more invalid reasons to move people out who do look like them or agree with how they think things should be done. [/quote]

No they're not.  Maybe you should actually understand the law before you talk about it:

https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/fireworks-safety

Article 27, DC Register, F-2700.1.1: [b]The manufacture, storage, display, sale, setting off, or discharge of any firework listed below is prohibited in the District of Columbia.[/b]

Firecrackers of any kind or description
Any firework that explodes, such as cherry bombs, salutes, Roman candles, floral shells, artillery shells
Any firework intended to move after the piece is placed and fired; such as bottle rockets, parachutes, buzzbombs, pinwheels, helicopters, jumping jacks
Sparklers more than 20 inches (50mm) in length
Any firework that contains mercury, arsenic, tetryl, phosporous, sulphocyanide, magnesium, potassium picrate, gallic acid, chlorate of potash and sugar, or any highly oxidizing agent
Any firework having a side fuse, or a fuse inserted at any point along the length of the firework
Any firework found by the code official to be dangerous to the safety of persons or property[/quote]

They are legal in DC only during the week(s)? around the fourth. In any event the type of fireworks OP is mentioning are never legal in DC or MD or VA. But I do think you should plan on 12/24, whether you think it's right or not, bc it's a big deal in Latin America and there are a lot of Central Americans here. [/quote]
