Stealing electricity is already illegal. Driving a truck into your home could be a genuine accident, but it's more likely that alcohol was involved first (which is illegal with driving).

Do you think it’s legal to shoot a firework at someone’s house?
Fireworks don't need to be intentionally aimed at a house for a forest, or a city, to ignite one.

So is shooting a house with fireworks. I'm against a general ban on doingelectrical work yourself, and against a general ban on fireworks.

Where I live, it's already illegal to shoot fireworks in the city limits, people still do that. Banning sales and importation is the next logical step.
According to what logic?
Ah, the one where invalid assumptions lead to invalid conclusions. Got it. Explains the invalidity of your conclusions.
