Last fall the New York State legislature gave counties the
ability to legalize the sales of certain consumer fireworks, like ground based
fountains and sparklers. Now the NassauCounty Legislature is currently debating a proposal to
allow residents the right to sell and use sparklers, fountains and other
novelties around the Fourth of July. This common sense local law will let our
residents enjoy the freedoms that Americans in 46 other states enjoy in
celebrating our Nation's independence.
We hope you will sign this petition to urge all members of the NassauCounty
Legislature to support this local law!
Sparklers and fountains are very safe. I don't see any reason for them to NOT be legal as long as they are only available for adults.
