The bombs that ripped through the crowd at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 170, were fashioned out of pressure cookers and packed with metal shards, nails and ball bearings to inflict maximum carnage, a person briefed on the investigation said Tuesday.

So what are they going to do about cooking show sells? Not just that but people actually sell these on the web and even on Craigslist!!!!
What does ANYONE need with a pressure cooker, hmmm? Can’t you cook your venison over an open fire? That’s all they had back when the Founders wrote the Second Amendment.
Hey, I’m all for deer hunting and ducks and, like, whatever. All I am saying is you don’t need anything like that. Just get yourself a double-burner gas range, and if a deer tries to get into your house, just blast it through the door. That’s what I tell my wife, Jill...
Some of you on this thread have lost your focus.
Allah Fubar!!!
You win! Great post!
My guess. The truck was the real bomb. When they couldn’t get close, they used the backup backpacks.
Obviously, she’s just as eeevil as those horrible Rednecks who own five or more guns and hundreds of rounds of ammo. Call DHS, then get a shrink NOW!! I’m sorry, you just never know who you’re living with. At least you found out in time.
True, but with the present lack of any reason and logic coming out of Washington, if you don’t laugh about it now and then you will soon take a long walk off a short pier that or ducktape the valve on a pressure cooker and put on the stove on HIGH!
As long as they pass background checks, they can buy as many pressure cookers as they want.
Please, why do you have to sho such horrible images. Both of my large dogs almost crapped in the house when they saw it. If you have no compassion for the rest of us, you should have at least had some for those poor, innocent creatures.
It’s typical of FR lately, or maybe it’s always been this way? Idk but it’s tiresome coming to read a news thread and it’s nothing but sarcastic comments, jokes, abortion topic mentioned. So on and so on.
I think the Senators will add an amendment to the gun grab bill this week, outlawing the sale of pressure cookers and those that have them now will have to register them and can't resell them or give them away even to family members.
Can pressure cookers go off by themselves without being on a stove with heat on or the lid not being sealed down? The plastic bag with mine in it is under a desk fairly close to my chair because I haven't moved it to the storage closet outside yet. I wonder if I am safe in this chair?
I would think a pressure cooker full of hardware would be heavy.
Surely there are surveillance cameras in that area that would pick up on somebody carrying TWO unusually heavy and/or cumbersome backpacks.
No kidding, next thing we know Feinstein will be banning crock pots instead of pressure cookers, I bet only one in twenty even know the difference.
Are QVC and HSN on Homeland Security’s Watch List yet?
Just tell them you lost it during that unfortunately boating accident. You know, the same one where you lost all your guns.
“You don’t need more than 8 quarts, unless you’re up to no good. “
If you are canning a 250# tuna the bigger the better!
When I was a young sprout, I used a pressure cooker, once. I know for sure how far stuff from the cooker can fly. I cleaned the kitchen ceiling, floor, walls, table, chairs, and a bit of the hallway.
Call your Senators now and demand they close the Garage Sale Loophole.
