Im sorry for your loss. But what about the children alchohol kills? Probably hundreds more! This was a freak accident, and the music, emotion and pictures are there to manipulate us into think consumer fireworks are basically the devils work. Alchohol is much worse.

fireworks that are avalible for public,tha ones you find in stores all over. they are legal and they are supposed to be tested as safe and if not they will not be sold inn the store.

thats very sad that that happend to your child, but do not try to say fireworks are wrong. they are great things to play with and you could use them with caution Do not fuel public hate against fireworks. :[ :[

Hear the gentle rolling piano? The gentle panning across the innocent face of a child? Notice how it sensually shifts into a minor melody as Dad understandably shows his emotions? It makes me sick to think we have stooped to manipulating the public with emotion instead of reason. This video: A cold-blooded tactic to get citizens hot-blooded over fireworks. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Shannon. It is just for us all to pay for our own mistakes. You are about to make us all pay for yours.

If I had a dime for every maudlin tale on videotape involving beer and a car, I would buy my own country. If you want to convince me why one should cease his harmless hobby on the account of the freak accident or the vapid moron, convince me why one shouldn't drive. Government is here to protect us from each other, not ourselves. I am sick and tired of this righteous crusade for a nanny state. Educate, don't legislate you fools.

no kidding, I once met a kid who got M80s from a skatebowl. He was responsible with them himself but he gave me one. I opened it and discovered they were using hypochlorites from pool tablets. NOT good.
