Letter: Change fireworks laws

By Paul Akin, Vancouver

As comedian Ron White says, you can’t fix stupid. Apparently the Clark County Council is too afraid to ban fireworks. This is not what Independence Day was designed for or meant to be about.

Sales start on July 28 and you’re not to light them off till the Fourth of July. Right, because everyone in America is a rule follower. Apparently most of these people didn’t attend school the day they taught Newton’s law what goes up must come down. It’s just common sense when it’s in the 90s and everything is dry, something bad is going to happen.

If you took a survey, I think you’d find more people would like to see an end to the mayhem. When is enough, enough? Come on county government, pull your heads out.
