Ban fireworks in Las Vegas neighborhoods.
Fireworks are a fire danger in our drought-stricken state and disrupt the peace of citizens and frighten our pets. Since residents no longer just shoot little firecrackers that pop harmlessly, we are subjected to the booms of illegal fireworks that give one the feeling they are living in a war zone. This has got to stop.
Why is this important?
Fireworks in city neighborhoods are out of control because too many people are shooting off illegal fireworks, which frighten our pets causing them to run away in fear, and disrupt our peace of mind. Over 500 animals were reported missing this 4th of July. Veterans and others who suffer from PTSD are also affected by these loud blasts. The potential for property damage is also high. We are a drought-stricken state and the fire danger is always a threat when people shoot off fireworks. Ban fireworks in neighborhoods. Let people go see them in designated venues where they are controlled and safe.
While we are targeting Mayor Carolyn Goodman and Governor Brian Sandoval to receive this petition, we also believe this message needs to go to leaders all over Southern Nevada. There are existing laws banning fireworks in Clark County, but they aren't enforced.
