Dear Williams-Sonoma,

I find it uplifting and touching that you take such a bold symbolic step as this in removing pressure cookers from your shelves. I also think it would be fitting if you removed all nails, screws or other potential projectile objects that were placed in the pressure cooker from the structure of your buildings/shelves and use a safe alternative to hold these things together. This would be quite a respectful tribute to the fallen victims of this tragedy.

"Out of respect"?

Certainly no respect for common sense or proportion.

Of course some numbnuts will put a pressure cooker in a public area to freak people out, just a matter of time.

First they came for the pressure cookers. Next, frying pans. What next, tea kettles? Oh the horror of it.

If pressure cookers are outlawed, then only chefs will have them, or something like that.

Pressure cookers don’t kill. Terrorists do.

“Guns are bad. I’m a good person.”
“You’re a racist. I’m a good person.”
“I’ve banned pressure cookers. I’m a good person.”

Liberals are soooo opportune to
self-validation.

The sad part is that Al Qeada suggests using the powder from fireworks if you can’t get enough match heads.

Apparently the matchheads are a slow burn but produce much more gas and pressure for a bigger boom.

Williams-Sonoma says that the product will still be available online.

Sure is. At Amazon. 3,021 results. Why bother with Williams-Sonoma?

That is stupid. If they want to do something “out of respect” for the murdered and maimed people, they should lobby to kick jihadis the hell out of this country.

Its not about whether you can buy a pressure cooker or about Williams-Sonoma. Its about pushing back against the insidious leftward creep.

After all, the nazis didn’t start big either.

Are you serious ? So pressure cooker is a type of explosive that was becoming uniquely identified in a powerful and destructive way with the name of your product and the company should have reacted passively ? Imagine if there had been a copycat terrorist touting Williams Sonoma pressure cookers as the means to house these IED’s, the reputation of the company would have been seriously compromised. At least by temporarily pulling the items they have covered themselves to some extent.

Perhaps they should make sure white ball caps are pulled from the market too. Dumbasses.

We need common sense pressure cooking legislation right now! The Founding Fathers didn’t even have pressure cookers in their day and did not conceive of them.
