Celebrating Our Independence BATFU-Style

The public is urged to report illegal sales of professional-grade fireworks or other explosive devices such as M-80s to their local police department and to ATF by calling 1-888-ATF-BOMB, or 1-888-283-2662. Callers can remain anonymous. [More]
Thanks, BATFU! Yeah, that's GOTTA be what the Founders had in mind to celebrate our Independence.

Right Mr. Adams
?
It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.
Never mind.

Well obviously they meant that only the "Well Regulated Militia" were supposed to celebrate.

Got a total fireworks ban here. But, given the right motivation, I could be induced to liven things up a bit. III.

Yeah, right. I'm gonna report a celebrant of liberty to the agency commissioned to stomp it out? Not likely. Idiots.
