What are your thoughts on the private sale of fireworks?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

The Auckland night sky is set to sparkle once again with the return of Guy Fawkes on November 5th - but not everybody is looking forward to it.

An Auckland horse owner is asking for people to consider their rural neighbours this year, after her horse was previously spooked by fireworks and injured her jaw on a fence. To read more, click here.

So we want to know your thoughts on fireworks. Do you think the private sale of fireworks be banned? Or are you all for it. Let us know your thoughts in the replies.
