Rejected petition Ban fireworks for the sake of Veteran

More details

Please ban the sale of fireworks to the general public. This is due to anti social behavior. They should only be used at properly organized events.These should only be held in public parks or a reasonable distance away from housing estates

We all know that many animals suffer each year from fireworks But what people don't realize is many Veterans suffer as well .Its not a firework going off that some veterans hear and this noise can cause flashbacks from time gone by.Put yourself in a Veterans shoes ,
A banner goes of "Sound of a gun fired"
Chines cracker "Rapid Fire"
Large fireworks " Explosion "
When this happens a Veteran can smell the Cordite in the air and taste the dust in their mouth

Please help to get fireworks off our streets thank you.
