Now that we know that pressure cookers are nothing more than murderous tools of the deranged terrorists, Americans will need to have them seized for their own good. Sure some nut-jobs are going to try to make the case that these dangerous weapons can be used for "recreational cooking". But that is obvious trolling.
I suppose cops and the military could still have them because no cop or solider ever hurt any innocent person. However any so-called "cookware" with the following characteristics must be banned. As a person who knows nothing about cookware I demand it!

Cookware should be banned if it:

-is high capacity
-is black and/or menacing looking
-is imported from another country 
-is bought by anyone other than a professional chef

If we at least had background checks for pressure cookers (a.k.a. death pots) then none of this would have happened. The Boston bomber would have been like "Dang, I guess I give up."

This is what gun ban arguments look like to me.

Don't get your hopes up. I was really hoping we would all have to strip naked at airports after the underwear bomber, but alas...  :-[

Did you know you can buy fully-automatic pressure cookers without even a background check? Just walk into the store and pull one right off the shelf. Or order online and get one delivered to your door. What's to stop a child from getting a credit card from their parents wallet and just ordering one up?

OMG, he's right. You don't even need to put a lock on them! How many people are going to have to die before sanity comes to the kitchen?  :o

When will the insanity end?

...now bent over so we can see if you're hiding a pressure cooker.

But don't interrupt the truck driver while he's turning his rig around, for he only has 40 acres to maneuver.

Meanwhile, the FBI are looking for this suspect:

A US journalist recently noted the worst of all this...

Smart shoppers don't even need to BUY pressure cookers. Instead, they can get their WMDs for free using coupons.

This is one of the most awesome threads on this site :D

Agreed. FREE BUMP.

BTW, I love this forum.

The high-capacity pressure cookers will be banned. And nobody cares that the ANFO was the actual explosive used :D

Agreed.

You don't need 10 gallons to cook your food!!!!

If everyone had a pressure-cooker, then no one would use them for nefarious purposes,
cuz who wants to be the only person without a pot?

Only in America can anyone just walk in to a store and buy a pressure cooker with cash, no questions asked.   >:(

When will those paranoid, rabidly individualistic feral racists learn to give up their freedom for security, like the happy little domesticated peons in the entire rest of the world already have?

It's for the children!  How many more dead 8 year olds do we have to bury before these pressure cooker fetishists join the rest of docile, civilized humanity?   >:(

They say we'll have to pry their pressure cookers out of their cold, dead kitchens.  Fine!  That's why we smart people have made sure the police and military are vastly better armed than the civilians they will always protect (and never, ever betray or oppress).

It takes a village!  The Second Amendment was written long before pressure cookers existed.   >:(

The Constitution is a living document, and must be interpreted to suit the fashionable whims of whatever champagne socialists the President and Congress appoint the the Supreme Court.

A man needs a pressure cooker like a fish needs a bicycle!   >:(

Now please excuse me, as I must attend a cocktail party celebrating the death of Margaret Thatcher.  All the cool poofs and Trots will be there!

I'm sure it will be whichever ones make the most money for the Mossad insurance agents perpetrating these attacks.

Financial terrorists.

While we're talking nonsense about pressure cookers, don't be surprised to later learn that backpacks are what's really going to be banned.

No, just opaque ones.

Like in grade school.

Well, how else are you supposed to fit a kid in there?!  >:(

By the way, does this mean we are no longer allowed to bring pressure cookers onto airplanes? If true, how am I supposed to enjoy my beef and potatoes on long flights?  :'(

I'm sure you can find a cute steward that will share his with you. Hey-o!

Banning pressure cookers would just mean legal cooks would be out of pressure cookers, but the real street chefs would still get their hands on them.

You can now buy pressure cookers with bitcoins!

Sure, but when the constitutional amendment was passed militias were fighting with death pots like these:
http://www.storeitfoods.com/files/1730690/uploaded/Antique%20Pressure%20Cooker.jpg

Everyone should be limited to chamber pots. Sales of pressure cookers should just require background checks and registration. If all pressure cookers required registration and were marked with a serial number, the culprit would have been caught already... Wait...

Pressure cookers are illegal if they are connected with copper tubing to a thump keg and a worm box.

we really need to make a thing out of this. bumper stickers yard signs the whole 9. Basically any time the anti-gun lobby creates some new slogan we need to replace the word gun with pressure cooker and copy it =D

I demand stickers!

Where is this strawman anti-gun lobby of yours? I have seen no legislation that would ban guns outright. Please edify me.

Funny you would mention a strawman right before claiming that the complaint is about legislation that would ban guns outright.

http://www.bradycampaign.org/

Nothing about banning guns.

i think you may have missed the point of my comment somewhat...

That's not to say there aren't organizations that would like to ban private handgun ownership entirely...
http://www.handgunfree.org/

Poor, misguided fools.  :-\

Over on the Democrat fever swamp forum, the Moonbat Marxists openly admit the ultimate goal of 'reasonable' regulation is confiscation and prohibition.

Repeal the Second Amendment

It's time to repeal the Second Amendment

So there's another organization to add to The List...

So, I'm not a gun nut, and have no real interest in guns, BUT I am a James Bond nut, and since I can afford it, I figured, hey, why don't I buy a Walther PPK just for the hell of it! Then I can dress up in fancy suits and pretend I'm James Bond, too!

Then I looked at my state's gun laws, and turns out that in Maryland, you are allowed to buy a gun, you are allowed to store it in your home, but you are not allowed to have it outside of your house. At all. Not on your person, not in your car, not in a box or a safe being transported somewhere, just nowhere at all. So, yay that I can get a collector piece (I'm at least allowed to drive it from the store to my house), but seriously, wtf?  ???

Move to Vermont. Gay marriage, and Constitutional Carry.

I don't like to be frozen 7 months of the year :/

Well, there is that. But to paraphrase,
"Those that give up liberty for a little comfort, deserve neither." ;)

Everybody knows that the Founding Fathers froze and died for years fighting the British, for the sake of enshrining a Constitution that only applies inside your house. 

As soon as you step out your door, you're in a Constitution-free zone.  Just like George Washington wanted it.   :-\

I feel like the whole world is trolling me.

OMG!!!  ASSAULT PRESSURE COOKER!! :D ;D :D

And that appears to be a high-capacity clip* magazine!!  Pressure cookers must from this point forward be limited to 1L.


*I hate that word, "clip".  Dear MSM...  Learn the difference between a "clip" and a "magazine".  Regards, Me.

That would require a level of investigation that might unintentionally convince them that firearms don't drag innocent people out to go on killing sprees. So, not gonna happen.

i have to give credit to the dillhole that you are arguing against though. I think technically he is right. Do any of these organizations propose that the government should disarm its self as well? if not than not a single one of them is technically "anti-gun". I think he was right and i think i did miss-speak.

I wonder how well such an organization would fare, on the hill?

I was just about to applaud your post suggesting a ban on pressure cookers, and was going to suggest a legal vs illegal pressure range (which is really the only important factor when determining whether or not a device is an actual pressure vessel, and of course the only way to ensure safety when cooking with such items) when I realised the thread had degenerated to a discussion about handguns. Really? You pro gun crazies can't keep it in your pants long enough to allow a simple discussion on safety aspects of pressure vessel design? What next, you going to start ranting about guns in the Alpaca socks thread?

rofl there is no way you are this dumb. I'm calling you out troll =)

You couldn't let me even have a little fun? You suck. Anyway, pressure vessel design *is* a very interesting area of study. It's one of the reasons I never became a chemical engineer when I graduated.

If they ban pressure cookers, criminals will just use water heaters. Anyone see MythBusters launch one of those suckers hundreds of meters into the air?

The most reliable and easily timed pressure (bomb? rocket?) I've ever seen. 41-43 minutes, every time.

Well, if I had been allowed to continue (ahem) I would have discussed in detail the design of pressure vessels in general and politely suggested the OP widen his area of concern from the very small and less lethal area of pressure cookers. I don't know about you, but I do get uncomfortable filling an LPG tank. Criminals are not necessary to make pressure vessels dangerous, poor design practice and/or manufacturing is.

Another interesting area of discussion is tig welding - when should it be used and why? What grade stainless steel should be used in a pressure cooker? How has regulator design changed to make pressure vessels safer and should safety regulators be mandated?

If this must somehow degenerate into a discussion about weapons, might I suggest compressed air guns as a topic? Then at least there would be some small point of relevance in what has become (IMO) a very OT thread.

Pretty much everything can be made into killing device with little technical skill and creativity. The only way to stop bombings and other acts of terrorism is for government to stop intervene into other countries and in peoples life in their own country.

Design flaws and economy on material quality and thickness is another danger. I was never afraid to handle old 50 liter gas balons like this one
http://i2.apollo.lv/img_thumbs/23_d7575/201211/333502.jpg.
They were made into 1960-ties but they are still safe to use 50 years after manufacture. The new smaller EU standard ones are thin and questionable safety.

I hear they're a great way to make "pie"

lol at title.

I don't think they should be banned, however background checks of owners of pressure cookers should be mandatory.

Wrong. Background checks of pressure cooker designers should be mandatory. The post above yours shows shows what can happen as a result of an improperly designed /manufactured / maintained / installed pressure vessel.

+1 to OP

I hope Obama quickly bans high capacity pressure cookers and assault frying pans! And mandatory background checking for every buyer!!!

If we're really going to solve this thing, we have to get to the core issue; our culture of destruction.

Take birthday parties. There is a weapon of mass destruction there which will lead only to more bombings - more tragedy - and American parents do nothing to stop it. Some parents even BUY weapons for their children. America's children are led to believe there's nothing wrong with bombs, and that's why they grow up to murder and terrorize. We have to end it now!

This is why I'm introducing House Resolution 2093, "Eradicate Bombs for Our Little Angels" or EBOLA, which will ban the sale of party balloons and finally put an end to predominantly-Brown sales of potentially lethal gases, such as helium. Furthermore, EBOLA will finally require permits for American "birthday parties," where a variety of federal safety agencies will inspect persons and their belongings for potentially dangerous items - INCLUDING ALL PRESSURE VESSELS - confiscate them, box them up, and throw them out airplanes onto Afghan civilians. Call it uhh... "Freedom Care Packages."

/thread.

Of course if pressure cookers are outlawed, then only outlaws will have the ability to make fluffy rice.

That's exactly what those rice hating liberals want!

At the very least there should be a 10 waiting period

I never trust that Wolfgang Puck fellow...shifty eyes.

How do you add photos directly on to posts ?

Quote at the post and look at the bbcode - you wrap the url in .

I hear NYC Mayor Bloomberg wants to hide pressure cookers behind the counter so kids won't want to buy them.  If the bomb-making potential wasn't enough, just THINK about how much soda you could put in one!
