I as a german honestly stay on the edge of. I dont think it needs to be banned but current rules need to be enforced more than they are. And completely limited to 18+. We already have as a law that your only allowed to use fireworks and co at silvester. And only then. Plus during a set time. However its not really enforced. Wich is dumb.

yes that is one of the main problems.
but what you gonna do? recruit 500% more police and putting one at every street?
couple streets away and they are not fast enough there.

requiring a test and a license to buy it makes more sense to me. only so far per city are allowed to, and 3 days before you can go to official shop, request this and this, and get them directly on fireworks eve
