    As a Veteran who has PTSD and does not do well on 4th of July. I fought for people’s freedom. Let them enjoy their fireworks and I’ll stay on my farm fat away taking care of my turkeys who also hate fireworks.

      I never really thought about farm animals and fireworks. How about chickens/horses/etc?

        I heard about horses dying from the stress caused by fireworks. It can also be hurtful to wildlife.

      So you’re basically saying “Yes, it’s a problem, but it doesn’t affect me personally so let it be”?

        Wow is this guy missing the point. Most of us who have PTSD are very happy that people have the freedom to do their foreworks

          I feel like fireworks aren’t covered by the 2nd amendment. I have spoken to plenty of veterans who were miserable when fireworks go off. They didn’t go through hell to relive it. You act tough but it’s not healthy.
