I wonder if the anti-fireworks lobby will try to use this to re-ban fireworks in Maine (legalized in 2012, because everyone would just buy them in NH anyway, might as well get the tax revenue), or if people will be sensible and realize that we're probably better off as a society without the type of person that sets off an explosive device next to their head.
