Lawmaker Jokes About Assault Pressure Cookers

Tennessee State Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) joked on his personal blog about “assault pressure cookers” in the wake of last week’s bombing in Boston, the Tennessean reports.

“Under a headline that referred to U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein, one of the leading proponents of gun control, Campfield cataloged the dangerous features on a pressure cooker, including a ‘muzzle break thingy,’ ‘tactical grip’ and ‘evil, black’ color.”

When asked about his comments he refused to apologize and said liberal commentators should be calling for “crock pot control” if they were consistent with their calls for gun control after last year’s Sandy Hook school shooting.
