Allen Ray McGrew, 41, was found laying in the road. He put a firework on his head, and it exploded while on his head, causing massive head injuries, officials said.

His wife, Paige McGrew, said her husband had been drinking since 6 p.m.

See, Florida? It’s not just you. Americans get drunk and do insanely stupid shit everywhere else in the country too.

    Yes, I am well aware of that, and the fact that the dry decade happened and failed does not have any baring on the fact that we do still have regulations on alcohol. What do you think the A in ATF stands for? Not being sold to people under 21 is, in fact, a regulation.

        It’s not my fault your original comment didn’t make any sense. Don’t come at me because of something you did.

          It seemed to make sense to everyone but you. Including the person I replied to. We then went on to discuss possible solutions to the issue. But you’re doing the far more important work here.

      Republicans will argue in court that the ATF has no authority to regulate alcohol, tobacco, or especially firearms, and the Republican Supreme Court will agree.
