Oh, so now I can't shoot fireworks at a Lambo from a helicopter?

• A YouTuber, Alex Choi, faces federal charges after filming a video with fireworks targeting a Lamborghini from a helicopter.
• Authorities say he was filming without a permit and illegally using fireworks on federal land. They revoked the pilot's license. 
• But whatever happened to our freedom?! (Seriously, though: Don't do this.)

We used to be a country that was founded on the immutable principles of freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Now, you can't even shoot fireworks at a Lamborghini from a helicopter for a YouTube video without the nanny state getting involved!
