I'm guessing their use of "antisocial behavior" is what we call "public nuisance". As in the asshole that shoots 500 gram cakes in the alley behind an apartment building.

I can remember the British used the same old "anti-social behavior" excuse when they banned their bangers years ago. Some teenage boys would apparently toss them a little too close to others in public. Of course teenage boys would never do that in America, with firecrackers, bottle rockets, or roman candles.

No, but we have the CPSC trying to kill the entire industry over here by neutering the break charge of 1.4G fireworks.

Seems that no matter where you live, some government entity is going to try and tax or regulate the fun out of our lives.
