On reading the title I was all ready to say something like "well it's just a bit of fun and it's only once every so often blah blah" because I never really get bothered by it, but actually you make some very good points. Mainly that fireworks should be restricted to organised communal events. Or if private, then only at certain times maybe, and they can only last a certain amount of time, and they can't be too noisy. They could be categorized perhaps?
I'd sign a petition for this anyway... as long as we can keep sparklers
