Jim_1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 YES!!!! Unless at an organised event. Too mad... too dangerous and way too many accidents every year!! I remember when I was at school around this time of year you would see rockets flying across the playground!! It was scary stuff!!!! You had to be on your toes!!

matt k Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 should fireworks be banned. what is you opinion because it looks like it going to happen very soon. Hell no, any sick fcuk can torture a cat, dog, goat etc in an infinate amount of cruel sadistic ways, it would be like serving all food pre-cut into tiny pieces and banning knives just incase some retard decided to stab someone!

Jim_1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 wtf??..... Hundreds of accidents involving fireworks every year. Kids burt/seriously injured. This is all in the space of a week or so every year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 "Last year 990 people needed hospital treatment for firework injuries during the four-week period around bonfire night – and more than half of them were under the age of 18. By law no one under 18 can buy fireworks or even carry them in a public place.

ivan Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I reckon they shouldn't be allowed to be sold to the public. Only people with a permit to hold a public display should be allowed to get their hands on them. Maybe the Borough Council could run the permit scheme?

Jake Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Should fireworks be banned? No. They should be allowed once a year on Nov 5th and strictly for organised public displays at any other time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I voted no, I'd hate to see a total ban on fireworks - what I would like to see is restrictions. People shouldn't be able to buy huge industrial bomb-like fireworks in the supermarket or high street shops, Joe public should be resticted to the small, less dangerous stuff we used to have access to a few years ago, the little Standard boxes rather than the crates of 100000 shot firework bombs. Yes people can still harm themselves with something as simple as a catherine wheel but at the end of the day these are the same kind of people who can hurt themselves with anything. Over 18's only and restrictions on when you can set them off. I love fireworks, I just don't like the idea of my retarded neighbours being in control of something big enough to blow up my car, or rockets with sticks big enough to impale me when they fall from the sky - that kind of thing should be limited to pro displays.

Not having a go matey but what if some chav or village idiot set a firework of through your letter box and your house was to burn down or someone had set a firework at you causing you to be blinded for life. Would your opinion be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 after last years events, of chavs throwing rockets etc into the bonfire at a organised event and shooting out into the crowd, yes, i think fireworks should be banned from normal sale, and only availible to propper events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
