Cities like Las vegas, Los Angeles, and Plano, Texas, highlight the dangers associated with fireworks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-hears-arguments-on-allowing-mail-order-abortion-pills\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Considers Legalizing Mail...Order Abortion Pills\">emphasizing safety concerns<\/a> for families, pets, and the environment. In an ironic twist, Plano promotes a government-sponsored fireworks show just a few miles away, contrasting with the restrictions imposed on residents.<\/p>\n<p>The author argues that while fireworks can indeed be hazardous, they symbolize freedom and independence, representing a cherished American tradition that dates back to the founding of the nation. The piece posits that fireworks serve as a manifestation of patriotism and resistance against government overreach, likening them to historical acts of rebellion, such as the Boston Tea Party. Despite acknowledging the risks, the author calls for celebrating independence Day with fireworks, urging peopel not to let government regulations dampen their patriotic spirit. The article concludes with a personal reflection on embracing this tradition as a new parent, emphasizing the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >maintaining joyous national customs<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>It&rsquo;s that time of year again when city governments and fire departments all across the nation post videos begging their citizens not to shoot off fireworks come this July 4.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=447264068481696\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Las Vegas<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8VyN2RE5jJ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Los Angeles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sr9TWdErhII\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phoenix<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LzLHzYA1JHk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St. Louis<\/a>, and others spent the week leading up to Independence Day broadcasting the dangers of fireworks. Local governments like these insist that if you choose to indulge the primal draw to big things that go &ldquo;boom,&rdquo; you put your family, your neighbors, your pets, and the environment at risk.<\/p>\n<p>If and when that call to compassion doesn&rsquo;t work, they resort to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhwlawfirm.com\/fireworks-laws-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">threatening fines<\/a> for something as small as a toddler waving around a sparkler. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DLafEb4Pep2\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The city of Plano, Texas<\/a> even resorted to posting a cringey video on social media, reminding residents that pyrotechnics on the most patriotic day of the year are a &ldquo;hard NO,&rdquo; especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chicago-gas-stations-partnering-with-armed-security-to-protect-customers-amid-carjacking-epidemic\/\" title=\"Chicago Gas Stations Partnering With Armed Security To Protect Customers Amid \u2018Carjacking Epidemic\u2019\">inside city limits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Except they aren&rsquo;t. As the Plano post advertises, there will be a city-sponsored&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plano.gov\/1042\/All-American-4th\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;spectacular fireworks show&rdquo;<\/a> just four miles from the city&rsquo;s downtown. <\/p>\n<p>Nothing says &ldquo;freedom&rdquo; like welcoming all of the Plano taxpayers who are barred from doing their own gun powder poppers to celebrate the anniversary of America&rsquo;s decision to buck an overreaching and overtaxing government to a government-sanctioned event funded by their pocketbooks. <\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to my point. Fireworks can absolutely carry harmful and sometimes fatal consequences if they are mishandled. Some risks, however, are worth taking &mdash; especially if they are done in the spirit of independence that paved the way for our country&rsquo;s birth. <\/p>\n<p>As silly as it may sound, shooting off fireworks <em>means <\/em>something to Americans. They are the perfect encapsulation of John Adams&rsquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masshist.org\/database\/viewer.php?item_id=102&amp;pid=17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1776 letter to his wife Abigail calling<\/a> for &ldquo;Pomp and Parade with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more&rdquo; to celebrate the States&rsquo; independence. <\/p>\n<p>That symbolism is why there was <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/07\/06\/americans-refused-to-let-coronavirus-cancel-july-4-fireworks-this-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">so much pushback<\/a> when little tyrants tried to cancel the celebratory explosions due to a lab-leaked virus in 2020. Just as Americans didn&rsquo;t need President Joe Biden&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/23\/dear-joe-biden-i-dont-need-your-permission-to-celebrate-independence-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">permission<\/a> to honor the USA&rsquo;s beginnings during the peak of corporate media-fueled Covid hysteria, they shouldn&rsquo;t need the government&rsquo;s rubber stamp to shoot off a few bottle rockets come dusk on this July 4. <\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to note that destruction for the sake of destruction, as we&rsquo;ve seen with the leftist riots that rocked the country in 2020 and tried to make their reappearance over illegal immigration recently, is un-American. Shooting off Roman Candles and artillery shell firecrackers with your friends and family with a bucket of water or hose nearby is, in the words of my colleague Elle Purnell, however, a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/07\/02\/the-grand-old-american-pastime-of-blowing-things-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;grand old American pastime.&rdquo;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Crotchety neighbors can handle one night (or, let&rsquo;s be honest, one week) of inconvenient noise if it means preserving the national pride that inspired the founders in the first place. The fireworks they hear popping around the suburbs and in fields skirting cities are a righteous rebellion of sorts; a modern-day American&rsquo;s tea-in-the-harbor moment.<\/p>\n<p>This is the land of the free, home of the brave, after all. And you&rsquo;ve never truly lived if you haven&rsquo;t had to high-tail it away from a freshly lit firecracker as a crowd of your closest loved ones look on.<\/p>\n<p>For the love of all things bright and beautiful, don&rsquo;t be stupid about your choice to partake in the pageantry. Channel the founders&rsquo; wisdom when you choose how, when, and where you light those cheap Chinese fuses. But don&rsquo;t let a little PSA on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-secretary-of-state-brad-raffenspergers-update-to-georgias-voting-machine-software-right-before-the-2020-election-was-unlawful-and-violates-any-certification-of-state-results\/\" title=\"Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger\u2019s Update to Georgia\u2019s Voting Machine Software Right Before the 2020 Election Was Unlawful and Violates Any Certification of State Results\">local news channel<\/a> or Instagram dissuade you from lighting them altogether.<\/p>\n<p>As a new parent, I may come to regret this call to cacophony. But I love my country too much to see it succumb to government-led crackdowns on good, plain, patriotic fun.
