This is right up there with the mandatory seat-belt laws.
Look, if I want to blow my hand off, or light my house on fire, let me. That's my problem. If I light my neighbor's house on fire, well there are other laws in place that cover that sort of stupidity, aren't there?
Let me have some damn fireworks. I'll take responsibility for whatever carnage I unleash if I get careless with them.

I agree with this 99%. The one stipulation I have is that in Colorado, its hard to put a value on the 10,000 acres of forest you could burn down. I think there's a time and a place, and that can be mandated without impeding on normal intelligent citizens.
