--are two mega fireworks warehouses selling munitions-level fireworks/"pyrotechnics" to all the testosterone-controlled teens that can get there to spend (literally) $$$ hundreds to blow their hands and faces off on ILLEGAL "ordinances" and fireworks.

I hear these ads constantly and know some fool is going to set off a major wildfire OR GRASSFIRE--which under dry conditions could occur ANYWHERE, destroying thousands of acres, houses, killing wildlife and the horses, cows, goats and others that can't be quickly evacuated, and yes, PEOPLE.


I am so disgusted. Fireworks demonstrations sanctioned by local authorities under the control of EXPERTS are one thing that we can all enjoy. This crap, like nearly totally unregulated firearms, is quite another.
