We have guns. But it's not good to shoot guns unless you're practicing or fighting.
China has a tradition of using firecrackers on at their New Year celebrations. When we had an exchange student from China he told us that they didn't do that anymore because of the smog it creates.
I was thinking about that the other day. I thought that if it local governments banned fireworks we'd shoot them off illegally.
Then I wondered why the Chinese people didn't make digital firecrackers and make the noise with them to ward off the "evil spirits. They didn't do it because they don't follow the American Way.
