Where are the Ban Hammers?

Just something I'm wondering -- not a big deal and certainly not the first time it's been addressed. But pressure cooker bombs don't seem to strike the same chord as guns. When there's gun violence in Anytown USA, not only do anti-gun American citizens speak up, but so too do folks from around the globe. Here on myLot specifically, we get folks from India, the UK, Australia, Canada, etc, all busting chops about how America is so crooked for not doing more to prevent gun violence, and latching onto those directly affected by tragedy with some take on hypothetical limited victims with their ideas. Most seem to carry the we're-better-than-you attitude, having no worries whatsoever about preaching to the rest of us and lamenting America as a supposedly gun-happy culture where something--ideally a ban--needs to be done immediately. Folks can't wait. Literally. There's no grace period for those who may be grieving. It's hear it play on the news, fire off a rant about how bad guns are and how guns are the problem. But can we get some of the lobby to ban pressure cookers to speak out, please? My stocks would suffer, but then we'd all be so safe and sound and inhabit a perfect world where murder death kills never happened and no one was ever embittered or insane enough to harm another. I'm too lazy to research for hard stats on my day off, but I'm assuming that there are many people seriously injured by these dangerous things every year!
