Prohibit loud fireworks from being bought by the public. Allow them at events.

Withhold loud fireworks from being publicly bought (and sold), only allow silent fireworks. Allow loud large ones only to be bought by arranged event organisers. This helps to reduce tress, injury and other negative outcomes of loud fireworks. (And fireworks in general)
