It's more about the stopping of the act and the capture of Guy Fawkes.

Making fireworks available in the shops stops idiots making their own using crappy instructions they found on the internet and blowing their arms off!

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just one night, like intended, so people knew to keep animals in and such like.

The availability and period of use of fireworks has been increasing now for years.

Now they're on sale year round in some places and are heavily advertised long before Hallowe'en. So people start letting them off, at any time between first dark and the early hours of the morning, school night or weekend, between October and January.

I agree they're dangerous and should be restricted to organised displays. Failing that, at least keep it to the one night rather than the several months it has become.

I'd rather burn the ignorant, selfish fuckers who let them off in the middle of the sodding night whenever they feel like it.

They want rockets? I can think of a place to stick a rocket that will make them ooh and ahh and leave them seeing stars.

I will sign. I have nothing against fireworks themselves. Although im terrified of them. I think proper organizations should get a permit from the council to buy and put on displays. There is a great display here that i used to take the kids to, it used to work out about £3 each, cant get many fireworks for £10 plus there was a great atmosphere.

You can search YouTube for some hilarious examples of what you're after.

However, I don't agree with banning them.

That's the minority spoiling the fun for the majority.

Would you ban the sale of alcohol because some people can't handle that either?

I'm sure there will be many more alcohol related deaths and injuries than fireworks ones.

I will, 100% with you, they are still sold to under 18's and so many accidents per year occur.

They are also not just set off on the 5th November but for a prolonged period.

One year some idiots set off ones in their front garden, during the day, one landed inches away from me as I was going out of my front door, not impressed at all.

I believe they should be kept to organised events where safety is paramount.

Hate the bloomin things.

Think they should only be at organised events.

Seen too many horses with shredded legs because someone has decided to let fireworks off a month early.

Or walking the dog and next thing you've got the lead rapped round your legs heading in the other direction

People in my area start setting them off from now through to Christmas .. popping and banging everywhere. The animals do get distressed ( you can buy Feliway for cats and DAP for dogs on line..Half the price of vets..so stock up now if you have nervous animals.

Why punish the many for the actions of the few... tesco, co-op, asda ( and other firework retailers) are advised by the police of the people with asbo's preventing them from purchasing eggs, fireworks, flour etc around the halloween/firework season. ( or at least they do in my area) if you are worried about particular individuals then inform the police and inform the local stores they they are using the goods for illegal activies. and they will try everything they can to prevent it.

but i love buying fireworks and putting on a show for my friends/family/neighbours.. and yes i have pets, but i do as you are supposed to and keep them in the house with plenty of food and water and the television on.

The devolution of health care services to a local level means that some areas charge for some services. The ambulance service, like the fire service is part funded to cover emergencies and can charge for other services.

I love fireworks you need space to do them safely.

I quite agree. They should have been banned from general sale years ago. You can't even see fags in supermarkets now but boxes of explosives will be on display!! Too many unscrupulous shops sell them to kids, who then use them for mischief, annoy people, scare pets and possibly harm themselves.

I'm wondering how long it will be before the americans celebrate the anniversary of Osamo bin Laden's assassination in the same way. Perhaps to let off fireworks while the local NRA take potshots at a similar effigy?...
