I sure bet it wasn't! I accidentally happened to spend the fourth of July in LA last year, and that city's commitment to fireworks abundance was unparalleled. I have never experienced such a glorious, nonstop, 360-degree rumbling fireworks spectacle before, and I loved it.
It's interesting to ponder whether people equipped with large, powerful mortars launching explosive projectiles might find any way to disable loitering drones meant to spoil their fun.
I think the mortars are fucking ridiculous in densely packed suburbia.
They weren't always this big either. If you want to fire increasingly larger bombs out of a tube in the middle of the night, I think at some point the authorities will need to start pushing back.

It's a classic social problem.
Group A want to have a huge fireworks display.
Group B want a quiet undisturbed evening and no risk of their house accidentally being set on fire by an untraceable firework.
The two are incompatible. Society needs to decide which groups needs are more important.
