Not exactly fresh, but relevant today and it’s been circling around social media.

A Pennsylvania Christian school teacher has resigned after accidentally leaving her loaded pistol in a bathroom, where elementary school children eventually discovered it, CBS News reports.

Police say Beth Jean Dixon, 63, put her holstered pistol on a toilet tank when she used the school bathroom on Aug. 25. She reportedly forgot about the gun and left.

 

After several students between the ages of 6 and 8 used the single-toilet, unisex bathroom, one child informed his parents – school officials were then notified.

 

No one was injured in the incident, for which Dixon was charged with reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of children.

 

CBS News reports that before the incident, the school had no policies regarding guns on school grounds.

It's more concerning that it was an elementary school.

A kid could have thought it was a fake, and pulled the trigger for 'fun' until you know what would have actually happened.

In my messy era.

Official response by the NRA:

“Maybe the teacher was keeping it there to defend the school toilets from being destroyed. 

#toiletsarepeopletoo

#dontbootwhereyoutoot”

Spoiler

In all seriousness, you are correct. There is no statistical evidence that actually arming teachers would actually improve the situation.

Moreover, the idea of having a gun to “protect” around hundreds of kids every day just seems misguided at best.

Imagine being taught to shoot a guy in the head before being taught how to do Pythagoras :green:

But why would you take it with you to the washroom?

Why even take it to an elementary school?

I’ll never understand the pro-gun stance. I’m glad nothing serious came out of this foolish behavior.

And the republicans want to give out more guns to more teachers. Just goes to show how powerful the NRA money can be. 

i think the issue is bigger. we have it in our constitution that everyone is entitled to a gun, and that also needs to change. newsflash the constitution was written in much different times hundreds of years ago.
