Quote from: TheoK on August 16, 2009, 08:44:10 AMKClO3 was invented by the French in 1788. The cowardly firework law is English, however. They must've invented it for the Revolution they had planned for the next year, considering the storming of the Bastille happened in 1789 and Marie Antoinette was beheaded not long after. We in Australia used to celebrate Guy Fawkes Day on Nov 5 up until the 70s, when governments banned crackers and other fireworks for public sale. The only people allowed to operate fireworks are those professionals with permits at events.

Even in Sweden people are allowed to buy firework "cakes" up to 1 kg and pretty big rockets. They banned 4" mortars last year but you can still buy powerful 2" and 3".

The reason they did it was little buggers kept letting them off in other kids pockets or kept blowing their hands off. The biggest 'crackers' we had were penny bungers, but the biggest professional crackers were about the size of a 2 litre Coke bottle.

You get jerk parents who buy them and give them to kids. This keeps happening so the government steps in and bans them outright.Sure they should fine or imprison the parents or other adult(s) that give kids fireworks, and more so if the kid injures themself. But who wants to arrest daddy after little johnny loses an eye or fingers and is in hospital? I do miss bonfires and firecrackers.

Lots of the bigger fireworks are banned here but I can fave a fire up to 3 feet in diameter in the yard without any sort of permissions. I lit up some magnesium forks from a bike once and nobody complained
