Is it time to ban fireworks?

Marc Fisher’s article: ‘Nothing feels safe:’ Americans are divided, anxious and quick to panic

In deadly assaults and harmless bursts of celebratory explosives, a divided nation demonstrated this holiday weekend just how anxious and jittery it has become, as the perennial flare of fireworks saluting American freedom reminded all too many people instead of the anger, violence and social isolation of the past few years.

Oakland police say they located five Athletics’ fans at the Coliseum struck by bullet fragments from what appeared to be celebratory gunfire occurring throughout the city. "These appear to be bullet fragments that may have come from guns being fired in another location," said Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong who continued saying, "as far as a mile away where those bullets could have been fired from."
