What types of pressure cookers should be banned?

[RodeoX]

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?

...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.

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

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?

[iCEBREAKER]

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.

Ability to put more than 10 pieces of meal in pressure cookers makes kids to drive around and cook food!

[Phinnaeus Gage]

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!
