Boston Marathon bombings set off alarms among Democratic legislators

By Pamela Putz

The Unconventional Gazette / April 16, 2013

SACRAMENTO — In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, State Senator Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, and Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, have introduced companion bills calling for background checks on pressure cooker buyers.  And State Senator Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, and Assemblyman Philip Ting, D-San Francisco, have introduced companion bills banning backpacks for all but public school students

Brilliant! Nothing shows the stupidity of the left like this. Hell, I want to see a bill to outlaw any event where more than 10 people run in a group!

Given this snippet, it looks like satire to me:

The Unconventional Gazette also contacted Congressman Steve Stockman, R-Texas, an ardent anti-abortion and gun rights advocate.  Rep. Stockman has produced a bumper sticker that says: If babies had guns they wouldn’t be aborted.  When asked about the proposals to require background checks for pressure cooker buyers and the banning of backpacks, Stockman replied, “And they say I’m nuts.”

Sigh.....I knew it would be a race to the bottom to introduce a bill to ban PCs between NY and CA.

TBH I don't know if this is real or not; I can't get to the main article from this computer. I'm guessing it's satire but this is CA so I don't know for sure.

It's a sad state of affairs when I read a title like this, think it is satire, but click it anyway because I'm not really sure.

Thank god. I just loaded my High Capacity cooker with roast beef and potatoes. I would hate to have to bury my pressure cooker in the back yard to avoid registration and confiscation.

Wallmart, Kmart and Sears all out of preasure cookers. They say when they get some stock they are going to limit one per customer. No pot roast this weekend. This sux. Spare me the lecture on not being prepared. I also overheard someone say TSA is buying them up.

Today's joke about how far the left has gone is tomorrows reality.
At one time liberals joked about how the Jewish people were to blame for Germany's poor economy.  That joke became reality.
