Ban Fireworks in shops completely

The Issue

We have had all our lives disrupted this year due to covid 19. Pubs and resturants have once again to shut down and families are forced to stay apart. Meanwhile shops are being allowed to sell fireworks that are literally bombs. There are groups of youngsters in my area now running around setting them off day and night. How has this been allowed when everyone else has to follow rules. There can be no displays this year and I truly believe and im passionate about getting them out of shops asap this year. They are incredibly dangerous and are almost always in the wrong hands despite what the government thinks and continues to argue. The emergency services hate dealing with them, animals are absolutely terrified to the point of death in some cases. I was threatened with having one thrown at me for challanging idiots randomely setting them off and dealing out abuse aswell. I have signed petitions every year to no avail and honestly thought this year would not be an issue. Im so angry I will see this through to bitter end. I truly believe that there is not a single reason for these bombs to be in shops. I will email scottish government, local councils and anyone I believe will help. How dare the scottish government allow this to happen when they are practically putting us back into lockdown.
