Why not just kill every tradition we have.

Nik Myles

Steven Daniels you have got to be kidding. You compare 4th of July traditions with slavory and gay marriage? The 4th of July is a celebration of the founding of our country.

Yes I will miss the enjoyment of our neighborhood getting together in the street with simple fireworks for the kids, remembering and talking about our Independence and why we support and practice this event.

I don't see how fireworks will cause a fire if they are done in a parking lot with no trees around, stupid ban by a liberal unpatriotic city council

They wouldn't have to make a stupid ban if stupid people would use them responsibly. But that's asking too much of republicans like yourself.

Gabe West

Why do people that arn't safe with them have to ruin it for us

They are an unnecessary and wasteful form of entertainment. They are often a PTSD trigger for many combat veterans. They are a sensory trigger for people on the autism spectrum.

Lilly Aschoff

Protecting our land, wildlife, and fellow humans with sensitivity to explosions is by far more important than the entertainment of the few.

Rick Allen

NO they created many problems and fires, good riddance I say!

Vernon Budd

The gen these days has no common sense

Bob Ingram

They are dangerous and many people that use them are disrespectful towards other people AND their property.

Other counties and cities allow their residents to shoot off fireworks, cities such as Columbia and Jefferson City should too.

Because everyone should be able to celebrate. And if the city says no well they still do it anyways and cops dont enforce anything especially if they know who is shooting them off . But everyone should have them shot off by midnight to let people sleep cause they may have to work the next day .

Most of the problems we have today are caused by poor decision choices by our leaders.

No, there are other avenues to enjoy fireworks and I don't need to shoot them off to enjoy the holiday weekend.
