Opinion of anti-fireworks laws

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Horrible Laws. Minnesota's are pretty restricted but around here at least basically ignored, people shooting off fireworks for the past month and no doubt the next few days was a very common sound/sight. Hence my annoyance with Dayton for vetoing the bill to loosen them, there's no point in just having a pointless and not very enforceable law.

Green is freedom states, blue is semi-freedom states (how much depends on how strict state laws are), yellow is horrible state, and red is mega horrible state.

That map is kind of misleading for Minnesota, the only legal fireworks here are ones that don't shoot into the air, so basically the more boring ones. Of course people just import them from Wisconsin which is far less restrictive, and still shoot them off everywhere. I actually saw people shooting them off in public parks of all places yesterday to give an idea of how widely ignored the law is.
