Rejected petition Ignore the petition to ban the sale of fireworks to the public

Too many people want to end people's rights to celebrate with the use of fireworks. The ban on sale to the public would stop the small groups who use displays as fundraisers as many of them couldn't afford the expensive licences. The sales are already limited to certain times of the year.
