What about what Arkansas gave up to Mississippi State and LSU ? I Like Mizzou here and I think they have a chance to win SU . <| sep |> Nah man , it ' s too late . We ' re already throwing your post into the harbor . <| sep |> A regulation policy that is basically a ban in everything but name , would work . That ' s what western countries do fireworks are banned , but some people are allowed to pay a lot of money to get permits and preapproved fireworks for specific days and specific locations . We could do that too . You can have governments get permits for certain locations for Diwali . Normal people would and should not be able to get the permits though . At most you need to hireassign someone from the environment directorate to sign these permits in addition to reallocating the police force . Not true . Ban would create a black market . You would need a lot more than a few to stop that . A big black market would not form mentioned it in a different comment , please find it . Fireworks don ' t have all the characteristics needed to form a black market there is no reliable demand year round , and usage is very easy to spot and fine , unlike drugs or alcohol . A disagree with market forces and crackers , because crackers don ' t price in externalities you have to try to do it manually by making them a pain in the ass to use .
