Anything can be dangerous.... lots of states find a way to manage without banning fireworks. Driving is extremely dangerous. Obesity kills more people than anything else, yet they haven't banned high fat/sugary foods. Hell, they legalized fentanyl and other drugs in California. But fireworks? That's too much.

With the dryness and the fires I can certainly understand the ban... but let's not pretend it's because of safety for people.
