This is great. But as mentioned in the article, not sure how they will enforce it. We also have them banned outside a specific time window on New Years Eve but there are still people not giving a fuck.

There’ll always be idiots who do whatever they want, but this law will probably lower the amount of firework drastically.

That's true - it is far better than it used to be. Though this year it felt the situation started to slip in the other direction and NYE was definitely worse than previous years.

meanwhile, the US is slipping back into the dark ages.

EDIT: To stay on topic, congrats!
