Ban the sale of fireworks to the public!

The Issue

I want to ban the sale of fireworks to the general public. If you have an established display and a license then that should be the only way that they are sold.

The general public buying and using fireworks has always been dangerous and resulted in so many tragedies. There are people that don't use them correctly or who use them to attack other people. I have seen it happen before. I know I'm not the only one that has a panic when it comes down to bonfire night. I've been burnt before, not badly, but it still happens.

Not to mention the impact it has on animals. Terrifies them and even injures them because they don't know how to react. (If they are outside).

This isn't to spoil anyone's fun, but I think if fireworks are controlled in the correct manner and we have proper displays only, we will significantly reduce the dangers.
