Our area is getting warmer and drier by the year, and the idea of 'playing with fire' is way too dangerous!

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.

Mike Everstone

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

Deb Kizer Dyck

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

Rick Allen

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!

Vernon Budd

Yes people these days have no common sense

Amber Chan

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

Leslie Ann

Times are changing. People need to change with 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!

Illegal fireworks cause most issues - and they're already illegal! Oregon's tame fireworks, if handled properly, pose little risk.

I am tired of government trying to turn us into little puppets.

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

CCare

Actually Independence Day is about freedom not fireworks

Brad Livsey

ABSOLUTELY.......NOT!!! Just one more unfounded government restriction mandated without a people's vote!!!!!!!

Christena

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.

As Mizzou learned the hard way, campus protests can be very bad for the institution of higher learning. Police and even the National Guard should be used to restore order and make it safe for minorities (e.g., Jewish students) to attend class. The left has taken over higher ed, you see results. FJB

Max DeYoung

Harry, your reply to me is true, and accurate, but a peaceful protest is legal.

Bill Douglas

Start holding the alumni accountable who use the state taxpayer dollars in the form of their state government salaries to donate and buy tickets to athletic programs of these universities. Revoke their degrees, and find someway of filing criminal charges against them even if you have to make it up.

Bill Douglas

They need to revoke the degrees of each and every UM Columbia grad who has an engineering degree starting with the walking dictionary we have in my hometown who times stoplights. That computer geek can do nothing but quote a bunch of state regulations and policy that nobody understands.

No, not if they are peaceful, otherwise the answer is yes.

Harry D

When was the last time you saw a peaceful leftist protest? "We need some muscle over here" ring any bells?
