Rejected petition Ban the general sales of Fireworks, keep them limited to private displays only

Ban the general sales of fireworks to the public. Limit fireworks to professional displays only.

More details

Every year again more and more injuries are caused by Fireworks.
We have animals in fear, ex and current serving members of the military also.
It wastes a massive amount of time for our emergency services also dealing with incidents that could be lowered dramatically.
As I’m sure you will be aware of that a total of 1,936 people in England needed hospital treatment in 2018-19 because of firework injuries. The victims in 600 cases – almost a third (31%) overall – were aged under 18.
