Williams-Sonoma pulls pressure cookers from store shelves

[nerp]

Is this going too far?

My thoughts: you can still order them online and there are better places to go for a pressure cooker than Williams-Sonoma. What's next, Home Depot pulling pipes from the plumbing department because attackers use pipe bombs? What do you all think?

The one article comment sums it up nicely, I think:

Americans have gone stark raving STUPID.

Also coins, gasoline and propane should be restricted.

Who cares, they're only temporarily pulling them from MA and the Cranston, RI store. Of course, ATOT will cry about it.

If I have a pressure cooker at home and I don't have blond hair blue eyes, does that make me a terrorist?

To show respect to the victims.

Its like buying a submarine because they found traces of ice on mars... its insanely retarded, worse than counting to potato

I'd put pressure cookers on sale, because I'm that kind of asshole.

Shop at lxskllr's house of cookware. You'll like what you see, or you can go fuck yourself. We're happy either way!

How many of you regularly cook with pressure cookers, or know someone who does?

I do.

I always thought they were typically used for canning, and little else.

Then pull them permanently.

Just to be clear. Retail stores do nothing unless they feel profits will be had. aka, pulling pressure cookers out of "respect" == let's create some warm fuzzies and get people to our store.
