Rejected petition Ban general sale of fireworks and make silent or low noise fireworks compulsory

Ban the general sale of fireworks and only allow them at organised events but even then only allow the use of silent or low noise fireworks

More details

Fireworks should not be available for general sale as they are abused by members of the public and they are set off too close to animals and people who suffer from medical conditions including PTSD. Silent or low noise fireworks would be a suitable solution to this problem.
