Again, On Fireworks

It seems as if current legislation against fireworks is simply a ruse. Almost every non-explosive state has another bordering it such that the citizens of one can gain access to the necessary goods with a short drive. A drive is the important word there, you can't simply walk or ride your bike to these places.

Why do these laws exist? Are fireworks routinely used as weapons? No. Bans on fireworks are meant to stop children from blowing their hands off due to improper supervision. No one would care if some college student or middle-aged person blew a leg off. They would just be labeled idiots. Think about the children.

By requiring the travel to a different state, someone over 16 must be responsible for accommodating such needs to a youth. If the kid blows a hand off, it's that older person who is responsible, so proper supervision is given.

Thus, I offer that every state should allow for the sale of fireworks and explosives to all except their own citizens. Everyone who wants to buy fireworks must travel to a different state to procure them. Not only will this be an automatic safety system, but it will spur inter-state economy as money will be imported and exported fluidly.
