What I meant by that was should it be illegal to set them off other than on a given number of dates, not illegal to buy, and I suppose those dates would need to include religious festivals.
Alcohol is a good comparison actually, it's sale is licensed but you can buy it any time, it therefore shouldn't get sold to under 18's, and in most places it's illegal to drink it in the street.
Also it's illegal to sound your horn after 11pm, so why shouldn't the same apply to fireworks? Regardless of the date.
Would help to stop the chavs in the street but not the genuine garden parties.
