    I know they did this to weaken protests, BUT… I’d say everywhere in the world would be a much better place if we banned fireworks forever.

      It’s always struck me as rather odd that, in the US, one of our major holidays celebrating the military features fireworks considering how awful they can be for many veterans’ PTSD.

      Yes, France clearly needs the right to bear arms just like Iran does.

      Remember all the uproar happening in Iran last year? What happened? Did they topple their abusive regime without guns or foreign intervention?

      Everyone was calling them so brave and now it’s just silence.
