Yes, but matches have other legit uses. Tracers do not. All it is, is people want what they have been told they cannot have. I want my own tank, but do i need one? no. so im not going to worry about it.
I use tracers for sighting in scopes over 200 yards, I can actually see where the bullet hits the paper without getting up and going for a walk.
And guess what? 7 months out of the year, there's snow on the ground here. No fires.
