    I’m ok with professional firework shows.

    I’m not ok for every kid in the neighborhood having access to little explosives.

      A good compromise. When 20000 people have a great time watching a scheduled event that seems fair. Peeps can make preparations to participate or avoid.

      Backyard rocketry is imo something to be celebrated, a bit less if it’s just buying premade fireworks, but kids learning chemistry and engineering in an exciting way isn’t bad- it also helps with developing a sense of responsibility when you will probably mess up and hurt yourself
