    If they ban 4th of July fireworks this soon after the election, conservatives will fly a plane into the new WTC

      Living in a large city, can't fucking sleep every July 4th because of the fireworks going off nonstop through all hours of the night

      Can't wait for the 250th where they'll blast the national anthem on every street corner continuously for a week

        I read Parable of the Sower around 2000, I guess? I started re-reading it last summer, and it was just too real for me to deal with, and put it aside.

    Every guy with a "I ❤️ constitution" bumper sticker just placed an order for 70 tons of fireworks.

    In my county in my corner of America there's literally a total fire ban and yet fireworks are still allowed. wtf?

    The reason is some of the states around me have fireworks bans, so my state goes all out and that brings in tourism money. Which is fucked. I can't have a small campfire on my property but its totally cool for everyone to get drunk off their asses and launch artillery into the sky. No fire risk there no sir.

    I was up in the mountains this weekend, and it was striking seeing all the signs up in gas stations, etc, stating how illegal even possessing fireworks is. One county over, outside the foothills, there’s huge stalls selling them in seemingly every parking lot.

    The sierras are about to get rather smokey this weekend, I fear :sadness:

      those laws are so they can arrest Non-White people for doing something literally all mayos do

        Fuck, I should have known that of course in that area of the state the law is even more designed to oppress non-whites than elsewhere. Forgive me comrade, for I have libbed in my naivety
