Fireworks in the city of Kamloops

[itwasonlyme]

So it looks like yet another right and freedom is about to be curtailed;
As our City Leaders move to ban or seriously restrict the sale and use of fireworks.
I note that they are already only allowed for sale during basically 2 weeks a year, otherwise you can't find them anywhere.
In a contradiction in terms, the SPCA is pushing for this ban as well
As they suggest fireworks annoy pets.

I would suggest that pets annoy people and should be more restricted than fireworks...
Listening to neighbour's dogs bark all day every day and stepping in dog excrement
Is a far more annoying and daily disturbance than any fireworks display I've ever seen.

This is a ridiculous overreach on a every-day product that can and is used safely all the time.
When was the last fireworks injury or fire in Kamloops?
Or any where nearby for that matter?

I hope our city opens up these restrictions, not tightens them down.
This is a product an adult should be able to buy at any time of year and use in a safe manner.

yep, more stupidity.

Apparently, adults need parenting from the government.

We should go after offenders instead of banning things from all of society.

Next up, banning pellet guns!

End the fireworks mandates! Freedom now!
