The ban is in effect through Bastille Day in order to prevent “serious disturbances” to public order, the French government announced Sunday.
MasterObee, So…if the government turns on the people, what do the French have to protect themselves with?
guyman, Yes, France clearly needs the right to bear arms just like Iran does.
Remember all the uproar happening in Iran last year? What happened? Did they topple their abusive regime without guns or foreign intervention?
Everyone was calling them so brave and now it’s just silence.
bighi, I know they did this to weaken protests, BUT… I’d say everywhere in the world would be a much better place if we banned fireworks forever.
Confused_Emus, It’s always struck me as rather odd that, in the US, one of our major holidays celebrating the military features fireworks considering how awful they can be for many veterans’ PTSD.
Marsupial, 
Why does that strike you as odd? America doesn’t care about its veterans.
MasterObee, Unfortunately our military is way too big to give veterans the proper care they need.
I think the average person wants to support veterans, but when you have 26 million of them it makes it extremely costly.
guyman, As with most things, take it from the wealthy.
If it ever seems like there’s not enough to go around, blame those who have too much. We could solve these problems, but not while protecting the profits of the ruling class.
