GOP Governor wants ban on July 4th fireworks

[Guns Guns Guns]

When the safety of others is involved, it has always been an accepted practice. You can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater. Is that a violation of your freedom of speech?

I didn't say it was, did I?

Try to focus.

I am focused.

Good.

So you endorse curtailment of your freedoms if certain conditions apply?

What did I already say? In fact, I have said it twice. I have said it in two different threads. But since you apparently can't recall, let me say it once more.

"When the proper and lawful use of something can, due to temporary conditions, cause serious loss or injury to others (especially to those not involved), I have no problem with the ban."

Thanks for restating your position.

Thanks for restating your position.

So you have noted it? Again?

No. So let me know when you need something restated again and again.

Thanks, I will.

Good, now that we have settled that....

Do you think this action by Gov. Rick Perry is acceptable or unacceptable?

I haven't formed an opinion yet. Should I PM you if and when I do?

Posting it will be fine, thanks.

Well then, it sounds as though someone needs to "focus"...

Banning fireworks during times of extreme drought isn't government interference.

It's common sense.

 

[Damocles]

When the proper and lawful use of something can, due to temporary conditions, cause serious loss or injury to others (especially to those not involved), I have no problem with the ban.

The proper role of government is to protect the rights of those victimized by the direct action of others. This seems to apply. One does not have the right to endanger others needlessly.

 

[Cancel 2018. 3]

So you're OK with a judge and big government taking away your rights?


They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

lighting fireworks is a right?

LMAO

what a dumb troll

This is much safer.

This is much safer.

I live in the boonies in the deep south. No pots and pans. You do hear quite a few fireworks on the evening of New Years Eve, but at midnight its likely to be shotguns fired iton the air.

I think common sense applies here. No one is upset that you are not allowed to light fireworks in the mall or shoot bottle rockets on a city bus.

If the area is under serious drought conditions, they restrict activities that could start fires. They do not allow people to burn leaves & trash, they restrict off-road vehicles in certain areas, and they put a temporary ban on fireworks.

exactly, we have similar bans here... no fires of any sort, certainly no fireworks... we are a giant tinderbox right now.

Alaska has these bans all the time. This year fire is not a threat, so people may set off their fireworks. People mostly complain about their dogs being stressed up here! Alaskans are real dog lovers!
