Why do people in Utah still buy and use the illegal fireworks?

The Utah Legislature voted for the new "cake" fireworks because they go up hot but come down cool.

They have a stable base so they don't fall over. They were backed by several fire marshals.

We now have at least two fires started by illegal fireworks. One in Ogden started a bush fire and one in South Jordan took out a garage and burned two people. The fire for Red Butte canyon was caused by a campfire.

So the question: Why do people in Utah still buy and use the illegal fireworks?
