I think they were banned in some places because it's too dry, not because they're trying to "restrict freedom" or something stupid like that.

We still had them up north, though. I saw some pretty amazing ones with KingLambda in Wisconsin.

She's right, guys. I didn't post this thread because the ban "lessens our
freedom." It really is too dry over here to be setting off fireworks. Also,
there's a lot of stupid people here that don't know how to use fireworks safely.

I'm simply saddened with the fact that I don't get to blow stuff up. Of
course, my friends and I know how to safely do that. We also keep a fire
extinguisher just in case of [duh] a fire.

and thats the land of the free for you

Think about that statement for a minute. It's kinda true. The 4th is celebrating out Independence and those to fight for us and sacrificed their lives for us. Now fireworks being banned may not be a big deal to everyone, but the fireworks are more or less a tradition. So by banning fireworks and not at least allowing them to be fired off on the 4th of July is banning a tradition that celebrates what we stand for, right? Or perhaps there was an actual valid reason for the banning and they were just banned due to a high rate of a of accidents or something and they felt the need to prevent it. I wouldn't know.

I remember i was in india on there Indipendence day, quite akward considering there basicly celibrating freedom from the Uk XD

Hey that's what we celebrate!

Anyway i went to a little party in a park that night. There was foodtrucks and fireworks.
