[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, morons shouldn’t be setting off M-80s in the street, but there’s a flip side of the coin.

4,000 people die a year from drowning yet people still can go to the pool. But for some reason since 11 people died from fireworks last year it makes a lot of sense to make it illegal for a 14 year old to set off SPARKLERS in Montgomery County and other similarly minded locales. We are ruled by irrational, cowardly, ninnies.

1,100 emergency-department injuries per year associated with sparklers? Pish tush! Who needs all their fingers, eyes, or skin? If it doesn't actually kill you instantly, it should be legal!

Yes, and how many people are injured while swimming, drinking, or getting high? Yet for some reason adults can buy 101 proof whiskey and high potency weed and jump off 10 foot high diving boards at public pools in Montgomery County…but can’t BUY SPARKLERS. Makes no sense at all.[/quote]
