I'm against them. I see little to no joy in them, while knowing that they are bad for the environment, for animals and wallets. However, I have accepted that the joy is a subjective matter and people see things that I don't. Similar to loud bikes and cars or loud music, there are enthusiasts who see other values.
I would like to see it restricted to state purchases and to have it limited to official firework shows only all over the world.
I'd also like to add that there are only a few days each year when it's allowed; loud vehicles are not a great example because they annoy people year-round.
(In the US) Most jurisdictions don’t actually have laws limiting when it’s allowed, except the typical nuisance noise.
