we don't think that the whole story . years ago me and fast eddie. bought some fireworks from a guy I know . they were class A and C the stuff use for major firework displays . anyway we had a company party and wanted to entertain are guess. well the guy we bought them from got arrested over the sale of fireworks . he had a license to sell but not to just anyone. he also keep them in a couple of semi trailers or one anyway and a 2 or 3 car garage .
the bust when they cops took his stash . was all taken to Selfridge Airforce base for disposal semi 's of fireworks in more then one . me personal got a phone call from the ATF. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. there the ones who handle it, I was asked what we bought over the phone . it wasn't like they called me into a office or picked me up and put me in a office and integrated me . in fact it was a very layed back phone interview on the phone . anyway there was so much fireworks they said on the news and in the local paper .the government wasn't sure how to best dispose of the fireworks safely.
