Rejected petition Ban fireworks being sold to members of the public.

More details

I would like to see the sale of fireworks to the general public banned, they should only be sold to display organisres that have obtained a licence from their local council, enable them to make their purchases.

I'm fed up of fireworks getting into the wrong hands, there are so many organised displays, why do individuals need them, they cause inconsideration to others that don't want to hear them, let alone the suffering of pets this tradition causes.
