Do you think it’s legal to shoot a firework at someone’s house?

Fireworks don't need to be intentionally aimed at a house for a forest, or a city, to ignite one.

So is shooting a house with fireworks. I'm against a general ban on doingelectrical work yourself, and against a general ban on fireworks.

Where I live, it's already illegal to shoot fireworks in the city limits, people still do that. Banning sales and importation is the next logical step.

According to what logic?
