| Surely yet another good reason to BAN the sale of fireworks and restrict the use to licenced displays??? |

A possible alternative would be to NOT BAN fireworks per se but instead to apprehend, try and on conviction imprison the odd miscreant that illegally transforms fireworks into bombs ?
Just a thought ! |

| If it was the sole reason for banning fireworks I'd be tempted to agree with you that it isn't reason enough. |

Yes, what's a few fingers and eyes ... my sister the ER nurse becomes almost violent if we set them off when she is around. She has stories to support her views... but if we outlaw fireworks, only criminals will have fireworks. (actually, for the most part, they are outlawed where I live. Which makes me, Hmmm...).
On a more serious note, this incident is horrible. What could be a motive for such an act? This wasn't children or teens pulling a prank according to the above. |

I think the words tar and brush are coming to mind here. There is also the problem that every moron with a banger will now have a new toy as they now know how to make a nail bomb....... |
I came into the world with nothing and still have most of it left.. |
