When will pressure cookers be banned?

[koalabear]

Investigators believe the bombs at the Boston Marathon were shrapnel-studded pressure cookers, hidden in backpacks and set off by timers, law enforcement officials told NBC News on Tuesday.

A pressure cooker, in its everyday use, speeds cooking by creating a tight seal and building pressure inside the pot. Converting it to a bomb sheaths the explosives in a metal casing, which blows apart when the bomb is detonated and adds to the shrapnel already packed inside.

Now then I guess.

Now then I guess.

No. Not until this starts happening every couple of months and probably not even then if guns are any example.

When pressure cookers are outlawed, only outlaws will have pressure cookers.

It's the new bumper sticker.

 

[Sean Renaud]

You know Polar Bears are outlawed. I want to find the outlaws that have them. Anybody got Victor Frieze's number?

I have 3 pressure cookers. Am I on the watch list? I had 4, but sold one at a garage sale.

Is there a cooling off period for pressure cookers?

I hope you got their name and SSN. Background checks are necessary for such items.

Just run a little cold water over them.

Do you also have BB's?

Not I, but the mrs does.

It may turn out to be some wingnut from the NRA trying to make the point in the title question.

 

[contrifan32]

You forgot... they were BLACK duffle bags... scary black military style. We need to ban them to or at least require them to be registered.

I swear that my Martha Stewart Living pressure cookers are absolutely safe when used in the manner they were designed for.

They are on sale now at your local K-Mart store (except for the city of Boston) and if you purchase them online, free shipping is included.

Why am I being taken in for questioning?

 

[AuntNelda]

Hello, my name is Kate Smith. I am the FBI public affairs officer. Do you have any questions for me?

"Yes, why was Martha Stewart taken into custody today?"

Martha Stewart was taken into custody and questioned about selling pressure cookers without a background check.

"How long will be sitting a jail cell this time?"

No, you got it all wrong. She is free to leave after making of her favorite pot roast in our kitchen.

"Excuse me, but doesn't make a tender pot roast involve using a pressure cooker?"

Sorry, but this interview is over. No further questions please.

"So, it's true that Martha Stewart is the Boston Bomber!"

No comment...

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a pressure cooker is a good guy with a pressure cooker.
