Fireworks are fundamentally different from firearms. The right to be arms exists in our constitution for a well thought out purpose.
There are many rights we have as Americans that sometimes infringe on others' little Utopias. I have a neighbor who is attempting to protect his large (60 acre) sunflower field from deer predation by using LP gas cannons, which go off every few minutes all night, and are exceedingly loud, much more so than any of the very large fireworks displays I fired off Saturday night. I can lie in bed and hear those cannons. I could complain about them but I wouldn't dare. I am grateful for all those who have sacrificed their lives to protect our way of life, and our freedoms, one of which is celebrating those freedoms on July 4th. And I respect my neighbor's rights to protect his property. The tolerance you speak of can be used for good, or misused for evil. Being tolerant of other's rights is a good thing. Tolerance of evil only drags us down.
