    Over here in Central Europe, the fourth of July is obviously not a thing. Our fireworks day is the night between the last and the first day of the year.

    Over the last few years it got restriceted more and more and now many cities prohibit private fireworks completely and instead put on a professional show in a few places. It’s so much better now in basically every aspect.

    I mean, who thought that giving drunk people explosives on a massive scale would be a good idea?

      Same ones that handed them guns as a right, speaking as a US Citizen I really hate that right.

        It’s not so much the right itself, just the batshit crazy interpretation of it and our collective gun fetish culture. The nutjobs zero in on the “shall not be infringed” part completely ignoring the “well regulated” part that comes before that. *sigh*
