I agree, I wouldn't mind if fireworks for the general public would be banned. But then I would also ban Xmas trees that get purchased a month before (a week before they get cut down) and month afterwards the very same trees are lying around on the pavement. Complete resource wastage and environmental catastrophe. For what? For a tradition that most people don't believe in but because children seem to need it, we continue on with it.

In isolation comparing drones to fireworks, I would go for fireworks. In the big scheme of things, ban them both - drones and fireworks on safety, environmental and resource basis. Alternatively everyone gets a AR goggles and can replay their personal favourite entertainment for new years!
