Maybe there should be a size limit, how about just big enough to hold a single jar at a time? Nobody needs 10 jars at once. Looks like it is time to stock up before they are banned(it really is in everyone's best interest).
What if the had use coffee-makers?
LOL what?

Tell ya when people can their fruits, and veggies, and Bacon they do.

After this bombing, I tweeted several things: "Time to ban pressure cookers," and the like, as a response to the "ban guns" crowd. I also tweeted—and posted on ATS about—the "terrorists" winning when they have fundamentally altered our way of life.
Now, if one were so inclined, one (who is seriously conspiracy-minded) might say that the (even if this is temporary) effort to eliminate pressure cookers has an added intent of keeping people from being self-sufficient.
Pressure cookers are essential to safely can goods for long term storage. I have a pressure cooker: i can my garden grown produce every year. Without that, it would go to waste, and I would not have stuff for the winter. If one cannot safely can goods for one's own consumption, and is therefore reliant on being a consumer and what is "provided" by consumerism, then we are in even worse shape than we though.
I agree, though: what is happening to America? It's happening so fast, snowballing so quickly, that it seems impossible to impede what is happening. As the legislators operate, "ram it through," this seems to be the MO of everything these days. The quicker we do it, less opposition and reversal.

Obviously you've never had a garden full of produce that needs preserving, and never operated a pressure cooker.
One can at a time? You gotta be kidding me.
Increase temperature, exhaust air, build pressure, then reduce pressure naturally so the jars don't depressurize too quickly and destroy the produce. Do you know how long this takes?
One jar at a time, jeez.

I do can and I have a garden. In fact my mother has been canning for 50 yrs. I'm guessing you missed the sarcasm and reference to high capacity magazines for rifles.

Here's a lovely little smiley gif that we can all use at the end of our posts so as to be sure our communications with one another no longer gets lost in translation:
I made it especially for any future sarcastic posts I may be making here on ATS, but have yet to actually use it.
So go ahead and steal it if you must.

"Pressure cookers are available at all our stores nationwide.
"In the days immediately following the tragic bombings in Boston a local decision was made to remove pressure cookers from the sales floor of the stores near where the bombing occurred. We apologize if we offended anyone by this action."

Actually, I didn't say it. Just agree wholeheartedly.

Really? So people whom were in the streets chanting "USA.......USA.............USA" while having a sigh of release that the gestapo are done knocking down their doors and making them and their families come out of their homes with their hands in the air like they were criminals, OVER DRAMATIC?????
