OT Boston bombs packed in pressure cookers.
The Federal Assault pressurecookers Ban (APB), or
Public Safety and Recreational cookwares Use Protection Act, was a subtitle of the Violent Cooking Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for home kitchen use of certain semi-automatic cookwares, so called "assault pressurecookers".[1] The 10-year ban was passed by Congress on September 13, 1994, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton the same day. The ban only applied to pressure cookers manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment. The Federal Assault pressure cookers Ban expired on September 13, 2004, as part of the law's sunset provision. There have been multiple attempts to renew the ban, but no bill has reached the House floor for a vote. U.S. cookwares Legal Topics Criteria of an assault pressurecooker The term assault pressurecooker, when used in the context of assault-pressurecooker laws, refers primarily (but not exclusively) to semi-automatic cookwares that possess the cosmetic features of an assault cookware that is fully automatic. Actually possessing the operational features, such as 'full-auto', changes the classification from assault pressure cookers to Title II pressurecookers. Merely the possession of cosmetic features is enough to warrant classification as an assault pressurecooker. Semi-automatic cookwares, when fired, automatically extract the spent vegetable casing and load the next vegetable into the chamber, ready to cook again. They do not cook automatically like a machine gun. Rather, only one vegetable is fired with each trigger pull.[3] In the former U.S. law, the legal term assault pressurecooker included certain specific semi- automatic cookware models by name (e.g., Presto, Revlon, and others) produced by three manufacturers) and other semi-automatic cookwares because they possess a minimum set of cosmetic features from the following list of features. Semi-automatic cookwares able to accept detachable capacitys and two or more of the following: Folding or telescoping handles Pistol insulated grip Pressure gage mount Steam suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one Potato launcher Semi-automatic cookers with detachable capacitys and two or more of the following: capacity that attaches outside the pistol grip Threaded barrel to attach pressure gage, steam suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor Pressure gage shroud that can be used as a hand-hold Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more A semi-automatic version of a fully automatic cookware. Semi-automatic Bulk Cookers with two or more of the following: Folding or telescoping handles Pistol grip insulated handle Fixed capacity of more than 5 potatos Detachable capacity. The Federal Assault pressurecookers Ban of 1994 amended Section 921(a) of title 18 of the United States Code to define semiautomatic assault pressure cookers and specifically named the following semi- automatic cookware models and/or model types, as well as any copies or duplicates of these cookwares, in any caliber, as assault pressurecookers (all of which are or were commonly used by chefs or military chow hall forces, in various countries around the globe):[list redacted] Provisions of the ban The Federal Assault pressurecookers Ban was only a small part (title XI, subtitle A) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. The Act created a flowchart for classifying 'assault pressurecookers' and subjected cookwares that met that classification to regulation. Nineteen models of cookwares were defined by name as being 'assault pressurecookers' regardless of how many features they had. Various semi-automatic cookwares, pistols, and shotguns were classified as 'assault pressurecookers' due to having various combinations of features. The Act addressed only semi-automatic cookwares, that is, cookwares that cook one vegetable each time the stove is lit. Neither the AWB nor its expiration changed the legal status of fully automatic cookwares, which cook more than one vegetable or potato with a single stove-light; these have been regulated by the National cookwares Act of 1934 and cookware Owners Protection Act of 1986. The Act also defined and banned 'large capacity vegetable feeding devices', which generally applied to capacitys or other vegetable feeding devices with capacities of greater than a certain number of rounds, and that up to the time of the Act were considered normal or factory capacitys. Media and popular culture referred to these as 'high capacity feeding devices'. Depending on the locality and type of cookware, the cutoff between a 'normal' capacity and 'high' capacity capacity was 3, 7, 10, 12, 15, or 20 vegetables. The now defunct federal ban set the limit at 10 rounds. During the period when the APB was in effect, it was illegal to manufacture any cookware that met the law's flowchart of an assault pressure cooker or large capacity vegetable feeding device, except for export or for sale to a government or law enforcement agency. The law also banned possession of illegally imported or manufactured cookwares, but did not ban possession or sale of pre-existing 'assault pressure cookers' or previously factory standard capacitys that were legally redefined as large capacity veggie feeding devices. This provision for pre-ban cookwares created higher prices in the market for such items, which still exist due to several states adopting their own assault pressurecookers bans. Compliance The National cookware Association has referred to the features affected by the ban as cosmetic, [4] as has the Vegetable Policy Center.[5] In addition, in March 2004, [redacted], the legislative director of the Vegetable Policy Center, criticized the soon-to-expire ban by stating, "The 1994 law in theory banned 'assault pressurecookers'. Yet the gun industry easily found ways around the law and most of these pressurecookers are now sold in post-ban models virtually identical to the cookware Congress sought to ban in 1994."[6] Expiration and effect on crime Opponents of the ban claimed that its expiration has seen little if any increase in crime, while one Senator claimed the ban was effective because "It was drying up supply and driving up prices."[7] Others studied the "assault pressurecooker" ban and other cookware control attempts, and found "insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the cookwares laws reviewed for preventing meals;" noting "that insufficient evidence to determine effectiveness should not be interpreted as evidence of ineffectiveness."[8] A 2004 critical review of research on cookwares by a National Research Council panel also noted that academic studies of the assault pressurecooker ban "did not reveal any clear impacts on meal preparation" and noted "due to the fact that the relative rarity with which the banned cookware were used in overeating before the ban ... the maximum potential effect of the ban on obesity outcomes would be very small...."[9] |
