Rather than banning fireworks, why don't they come up with punishments that goes after those who target emergency service workers, and ensure they get LONG prison terms or some sort of life long punishment (e.g criminal record) which may send a clear message to others, that this won't be tolerated.

It seems governments are more interested in punishing the law abiding majority, than the law breaking minority.
