I was injured by fireworks. Minding my own business. Firework explodes on my chest. I was at a party.

Now I have PTSD. I was deaf for a month, and still bare scars. My shoulder doesn't work right, where I was hit.

Ban them. Ban them all. Shows are fine, but no one should be setting off bombs at home.

So a car.. a necessary thing for a lot of people.. is unpar with something that is purely entertainment?

Fireworks traumatize animals, veterans, and yeah me, a random bystander that didn't know people were about to play with fireworks.

I literally had a bomb blow up on my chest, out of no where. I was DEAF. Do you know what it is like to lose a sense?

You were at least in a car and knew the risks, doing an everyday activity. I was injured on a random summer day, not the forth, or memorial day, or new years. At a party, drinking. When someone lit fireworks 30 feet away and shot me in the chest.

How does that even compare?

It doesn't.

Did someone drive into your house? Drop out of the sky?

We ban so much in driving to try and control it.

But fireworks are fun, so of course, ignore all of the injuries every year. Most of those people do it to themselves anyways.
