about 5 years ago I could get a mortar kit for only 60$, now its 499$. Even the small fireworks that do nothing much cost 20$. Why does powder cost so much?!? fireworks is basically a piece of cardboard and some powder.

I agree, I live in CO and I'm not sure if sparklers are legal anymore. My cousin spent $700 on fireworks last year from out of state. Nothing good here worth buying but my gf has some connections on her rez in Wyoming.

:lol: We were playing with bottle rockets a while back and my friend had one shot at his face and it exploded. He was alright but it was something to laugh about later.

Maybe states put heavy taxes on them to discourage their use.

I can only speak for the fireworks you buy at stores, they have an enormous mark up. Those things are bank for whoever sells them.

Someone said something he could buy for $60 jumped to $500. Now if the government imposed a $440 tax on cigarettes and alcohol, do you still think it wouldn't work?
