Besides the fire danger I am a Viet Nam vet and after my last tour I had PTSD and the fire works would really set me off so now I still go tp bed on the 4th with ear plugs in.

Yes, to not ban fireworks when the conditions are so right for fires to burn and destroy homes from people who are just careless and inconsiderate warrants a ban. Allow profession fireworks, see the show, celebrate. Just humans being typically irresponsible specially when conditions are bad.

I'd rather my home didn't burn to the ground than light a couple sparklers.

I think we can do without a little pleasure for the sake of less fires and the public's health.

Yes fireworks have always been a problem, causing fires and injuries, not to mention noise pollution for people who go to bed early. With the fire danger in our area, I think it is terribly irresponsible to allow any fireworks in any county!!! Ban them! Ban them ALL!

I would support it, but it's pretty useless if police won't enforce it.

We need to be good little puppets. We need to go to work pay taxes and go home and close the door behind us. Get up and do it again. NOTHING ELSE!

No, that's going overboard!

This is ridiculous, that what independence day is all about is the fireworks, how about doing some forest management to prevent wildfires

If people would be more caustious and follow the current rules and regulations regarding fireworks we wouldn't have as much of an issue. Having small fireworks in the driveway and kids with sparklers is a huge fire hazzard especially if you're paying attention and have a hose ready just in case.

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

He doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Irony: “It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights…” Charlie Kirk 2023

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.
