I have know kids over the years who have suffered injuries from fire works,from even the simplest sparklers they are dangerous.I remember back in the 80,s anyone could buy an air riffle out of any shoping catalog not anymore why because for the very same reason they are dangerous.i agree that children today miss out on so much that we enjoyed but that's progress in many ways,I loved spud guns making bow and arrows and crossbows but again on reflection they are dangerous
