ONCE again 'firework fortnight' is nearly upon us. I say fortnight because it starts a week before November 5 and continues a week after.
Is it just me that can't get my head around the laws that are desperately trying to crack down on gun crime, but still allow the nuisance element to buy enough gunpowder to maim and kill?
We should limit fireworks to organised licensed displays and ban over-the-counter sales.
