LOL..that's your comeback for "copycat crimes" ?

Amazon 1 day shipping..'nuf said.

At the most, it's a patriotic gesture by a store.
Take them off the display shelves and put them in the back for a day or two and then take them back out again. Good advertising I guess.

I would think those propane bottles for your BBQ Grill would work much better anyway.

We don't need no stinkin PC's to make a good homemade bomb.

Doesn't make it any less stupid.

"Oh, some Islamic radicals used a pressure cooker, which has been manufactured by hundreds of different corporations over the years, to make a bomb, and I think we should (you know, in sypathy and solidarity) pull pressure cookers from the shelves".

That is the dumbest **** I've heard in a long time, almost insulting to the victims and their families.

I agree. Let me rephrase what I said. If I were going to buy a pressure cooker to build a bomb, I'd get the cheapest one I could find. That wouldn't be at Williams-Sonoma.

Scientifically speaking, a cheap, less robust metal would yield less results. So, if you're a terrorist, you probably pay a bit extra for higher quality.

Those of us that use it want high quality so it doesn't blow up

Typical liberal/modern day stupidity. More people are killed with baseball bats or clubs every year than by rifles. Take all the baseball bats off the shelves too and outlaw baseball????.

It's a joke. Just showing how senseless it is to think one item can make a difference.
