Fireworks are a complete and utter nuisance and I wish they would be banned. They are horrible for the environment, they cause fires, they frighten wildlife and cause death from animals running to escape the sound, they cause PTSD issues with Veterans, and they cause domestic pets countless hours of stress.

I'd rather be a good neighbor rather than get a kick out of a quick snap, crackle and pop. I much prefer the professional drone shows!
