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

      I make sure I’m not around for anything I am personally unusually sensitive to. Can’t expect society not to do any thing which anyone anywhere might not like.

        How do you propose someone makes sure they aren’t around any people who might be setting off fireworks? Are all veterans automatically wealthy enough to be able to stay in the middle of nowhere for two weeks??

          I’ve got an idea, how about we do like Covid lockdowns but like permanently and no one’s allowed to do anything. That’ll solve it.

      Wow is this guy missing the point. Most of us who have PTSD are very happy that people have the right 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.

        I have the right to drive up to your house, park on the side of the street, and blast “Baby Got Back” on a loop at 250 dB until the wee hours of the morning, but I don’t do that. Because I’m not an asshole. And I’m already over-budget this year for public performance rights to songs about the buttocks. But mostly the former.

        Someone else said it in another comment: Be a good neighbor - that’s all we’re asking.

      No actually, he’s directly admitting he is personally affected by it, do you read English?

      He’s saying that his PTSD isn’t everyone else’s responsibility, and that they should be able to do what they want without having to be concerned if it’s going to bother someone who has unique circumstances.

      As opposed to all the nanny state bullshit in this thread.

      Ban fireworks in cities and places where it’s too dry to light them, otherwise who gives a shit.
