I love videos where the professional pyro guys fuck up and detonate all the rockets at the same time, and you get $300,000 worth of fireworks go off in 11 seconds. To me, that is MUCH better than a regular firework display.

Could not agree more.

I'm an emergency operator. I'm pretty happy that there are no mortars etc here. We get enough bullshit to deal with on Guy Fawkes as it is.

It's actually when things are illegal that stupid mistakes happen. Criminalizing everything puts things in the hands of inept government, ALWAYS a mistake. An educated populace is a wise one, we see the same thing with anything explosive in the states. There are few exceptions to this rule, like....nukes.

Oh yeah.

Bring an American emergency operator on here. He and I can talk about how many gun murder calls we each take. ?

Well, I train emergency operators in my area on how to respond in this particular area, sooo....

OK, I'm an emergency operator. Debra Downer calls in saying her husband blew off a finger, and she kept telling to him be careful, he just wouldn't listen. She also shot her niece.

How should the operator respond?

So how's that "educated populace" doing with keeping gun crime in check?

Got a pretty good handle on it, do you?

??
Yes.
Open carry states are the safest, tightest laws/dumbest populations are the worst.

Hey, at the risk of staying on topic, could we not do this here?

Sure, we can not do this here.

Your homicide rate is the worst in the developed world, by the way. Also, totally coincidentally, you have by far the world's highest gun ownership rate. But those two things, there is no possible connection. ?

Not true, we deserve freedom from idiots and wildfires.
As an Aussie (and Guy Fawkes, the Commonwealth's fireworks day, is in the Australian summer)...... even as a kid, I always thought that people setting off/whining about the lack of Mexican-style fireworks to let off in an Australian summer while drunk, were....... well, basically selfish idiot cunts. We get enough fires as is.

Shit. My spot better have some inventory. I plan on grabbing some after work early next week.
I'm not talking about sparklers, roman candles and fountains.
I want loud-ass mortars or you can go fuck your mother.

Brother, get what you can while you can.

Yesterday I went to my spots, unloaded a container helping a buddy.
He's the only game in town.
There was a fight when vendors went for p/o orders.
Online mortar 24-packs, usually between 60-100, are at LEAST 120, 150 in most cases.
On-site(reservations) I priced a pack of Black Cat(usually crap) at 160.

Next week there will be blood, folks don't get it.
China's confiscating the ammo.

This is the state's importer showroom, the warehouse is EMPTY.

4 500g cakes.

This has never happened in U.S. history, since the UN took over from the DOT.

So more bullshit? I see no Pyro shortages.
A pyro shortage in the industry is like a shortage in any other.
It means supply can't keep up with demand.
He is shopping at a retail store.
I shop from importers.
So if my side is empty, that store can't & won't re-stock.
And so, prices will reflect that.

I imagine that store will be empty by July 2nd, or their will be little supple & naturally, astronomical prices.
But they go up as time goes on & people realize it.

So, for people that like explosions, just giving them a heads up.

Think of it like an AMC tip a month ago.

I've been buying from importers since 2001, there's no shortage
