We need more fireworks laws -- there's not much difference between advanced fireworks and how firearms function:
- 5 hours of classroom training by state-certified professional trainers to cover laws, safety and fundamentals,
- 2 hours of hands-on live training with real fireworks
- A notarized certification saying you attended the training and passed a written test plus demonstrated proper safe handling and use of fireworks.
- A complete criminal and mental health background check
- A 2 week waiting period after applying for a permit to acquire
- A state license granting permission to use fireworks that must be renewed annually, requires a fee, another full background check for renewals, and a refresher training class and tests every 5 years.  ONLY THE LICENSEE IS ALLOWED TO USE THE FIREWORKS, AND ONLY FOR THE SPECIFIC VERSION OF FIREWORK ON THE APPLICATION. 
- A separate license is required for each firework type according to its specifications.
- Using or possessing fireworks without an approved license will result in heavy fines, confiscation, loss of future fireworks privileges and a felony charge.
- Fireworks can only be used in areas with signage designating the location as appropriate for that purpose.  All public lands are considered Sensitive Places where fireworks are prohibited.  All private business properties are considered Fireworks Free Zones unless the owner posts notices to the contrary.

The public is encouraged to identify, and if possible video record, anyone they suspect is using illegal fireworks or is not licensed to possess or use the fireworks they are seen with. The witness should then call 911 to report the situation immediately.
