WILL FONTANA MAKE CELEBRATING THE 4TH OF JULY ILLEGAL?The FONTANA CITY COUNCIL will be meeting on Tuesday, January 23, to propose a ban on LEGAL FIREWORKS, the “Safe and Sane” kind that have been APPROVED BY THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL and that are sold by local community nonprofit service, religious and youth athletic groups. Some in city government have discussed banning them in the past.
WE DON’T GET IT.If injuries are the concern, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that other sources –NOT FIREWORKS- account for 99.99% of all injuries—you’re over four times more likely to be injured by your kitchen stove!
SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
How about people using ILLEGAL FIREWORKS? THAT’S the PROBLEM!
So why should the majority of us who OBEY THE LAW be punished for the CRIMINAL ACTIONS of a few?
WHY SHOULD WE BE PUNISHED?
Why not go after the LAWBREAKERS, and leave those of us who responsibly use and enjoy State Approved fireworks alone?
Why not make the CRIMINALS PAY, instead of patriotic families, legitmate businesses and Fontana’s charitable volunteers?
