Ban the sale of fireworks to the public

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Ban the sale of fireworks to the public. Organised public events that include fireworks are fine but ‘bonefire night’ is more than just a night to some people. People are irresponsible
I cannot believe this got denied this year. Pets are scared not to talk about wildlife. People take it way too far. Some supermarkets have banned the sale of fireworks to support the members of the public that want this to happen but others are yet to do so.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: Limit the Sale and Use of Fireworks to Organisers of Licensed Displays Only
