Simple solution:
Require that every shop that wants to sell fireworks has to apply for a license, renewable every 5 years and a requirement of obtaining the license is to attend and pass a fireworks safety course.
Only allow fireworks to be sold during a very tight window surrounding Nov. 5th
Increase the fines issued to shops caught selling fireworks illegaly.
Make it illegal to sell fireworks to anyone not bearing a private display permit, obtainable from your local council, renewable every year and only issued once a firework safety course has been completed. Also, the organiser of said private display must plan in advance what fireworks he will use in said display and will only be allowed to purchase fireworks on said plan.
Set up a mystery shopper network consisting of both adults and children to randomly test any shop with a license. Any shop owner who sells a mystery shopper fireworks without the proper paperwork gets an immediate and permanent revokation of their license and receives the maximum fine.
