Hundreds of pounds of illegal fireworks turned at amnesty event

[@user-bp1oj8nr8l]

Hundreds of pounds awesome! Now they just have to be concerned with the 100 tons still out there being stored away for this New Year’s Eve.

Plus no signs of fresh fireworks being turned in😂

Turned in firework to be taken to an undisclosed place to be stored rather than being destroyed, hmmm

[@mmadchef808]

It’s because there is no facility on the island to destroy the fireworks. They need to be shipped to the mainland. Not everything is a conspiracy 😂

At least they gave the people who have a 100 tons a chance to turn it in now if they are caught they can give a harsh prison sentence.

To go after smugglers need laws to change that make commerce more complicated and expensive/ increase cost of living/ too political. But I think should try at least.

[@SpikeNLB]

100's of pounds arriving via Honolulu Harbor every month, everybody paid off not to notice.

[@ronalddesilva8730]

It’s by the tons and containers. Let’s be honest.

[@GarageHi]

Illegal or banned? Or. Illegal cause its banned? Hawaii needs to regulate it. Give the people what they want make all consumer fireworks legal like other states. I understand yes leave the pro stuff to licensed professionals. (Lots of ariels are consumer grade for those that dont know) Put a 100% greedy state tax on fireworks and make your money. Make people take a safety class and get a certificate of completion like hunter education. Teach people the proper ways and safe handling and only then you are able to buy fireworks with a certificate of completion. You do it for hunting. Enforce it to only New Years since thats when Hawaii does it big. If you get caught outside that time you get a fine or time or something. When you use or are around people that use fireworks you know the risk involved. Life is full of risk. You take a risk everyday in life walking outside your house, walking around the block, driving your car, going to the beach. They all have risk and you know that. What are you gonna do banned driving or going to the beach? How many people die or get hurt driving or in the ocean every year? You guys should take advantage and make money. No brainer tax the fireworks and treat it like firearms. Offer training classes like hunter ed. Then you can use and purchase fireworks after certificate of completion. If you get caught with no certification then you face consequences.

[@johnrodrigues5136]

The longer they are stored the more dangerous the corporal said so they going collect them then store them at a undisclosed location I feel alot safer now.

[@kawikadee9670]

Then they will destroy it.

[@lesliepropheter5040]

In memory of the guys that set off the fireworks that killed and maimed so many people, because they too died a little that day, you know it. Can’t help but have guilt over the bragging and enthusiasm it took to amass such an amount ‘for the whole neighborhood’ and then suffer over the outcome of such sorrow and grief. Even if the cops don’t know who they are, their neighbors do, and they have to live with that. Sorry guys, you meant well, alas

[@kawikadee9670]

Yup, it was a bad thing.

[@staledreams]

so people turned in a lot of old stuff that the families had collected over the years as usual to these events. some who still have fireworks on them is still holding on to them but maybe is checking how they are storing them, to be safe. and the new stuff hasn't really come in yet since heresay is that they usually start arriving after the forth of July. so even though a couple people died it may turn out to be business as usual.

[@maluhias]

Fireworks are part of American culture and shouldn't be made illegal anyway. Give people legal access to them so they aren't buying dangerous black market re-wraps. Have a state sponsored class to teach how to safely and smartly use them like my state's fire stations do every year. Much like a gun not everyone should have access to them but you shouldn't restrict everyone from safely owning and using.
