With our current SCOTUS, I have little faith. They would probably support them.

What they need to do is make it illegal to sell them. It’s funny, it’s not illegal to sell them, just illegal to shoot them off. So of course people buy them.

We had a light rain one year but it never got hard enough to stop people.  It IS odd you can't shoot them off but you can buy them.  That makes no sense at all, because some people will always do what they want----illegal or not.
And they may be illegal in a city, but if you merely cross the street you're within the boundaries of ANOTHER city. Hence, people will just do that---cross the street.
So far it's quiet but I'm waiting for it. And since we have construction going on a block away, that bang, bang, bang can sound like firecrackers. People often don't wait until it's dark anymore since it takes too long for the sun to set now. And some of my neighbors make the kind of noise that can rival firecrackers.
