Gun versus toilet. Do we need to outlaw toilets?

<Bangs head on desk>

Busted flush

Haha. It would be nice if they tried to take such a ridiculous approach, but of course it won’t happen. I don’t see this incident having any impact on the overall discussion, though it might spark a tiny firestorm on Fluther, since there hasn’t been a guns question here for a while.

Moral lesson: don’t bring guns to school or don’t use school toilets. Choose one option or both

Toilets don’t shoot teachers; teachers shoot teachers.

Now that teacher can honestly say, “I need a concealed gun at school, I was shot at school*!*”

Shit happens.

~ Had the toilet been made of energy absorbing ABS plastic it would not have exploded sending out shards and irresponsibly wasting precious water. All toilets in schools should be replaced with the safer material.
Within the past week, in just one school, a ceramic toilet exploded and injured a teacher well skilled in the art flushing technology. Multiply that by the number weeks in session, assume 40, and the number of schools, est. 400,000. we find that toilets are exploding at a rate of 16 million per year and injuring the same number of teachers! .

I propose all schools replace their toilets with the safer devices made by the newly formed company Johnnyhitsthespot, a division of Hal-e-burton at a discount price of $200 each in quantities of 10.
The cost will be high, $3,200,000,000, but we must put the safety of the our children first. They are our future.

@LuckyGuy Maybe we should go with the Sullivan laws that apply to pistols for toilets. Everyone needs a permit and training to have one or use one.

Well. I just don’t know what to say. I believe this question will set the pace for my day.
I put three kids through school. None of them ever had any issues with exploding toilets. Guns hadn’t been a problem either, except one father being asked to not have his hunting rifle in the truck when he comes to pick up his son.
When I was a child, Bobby and Mike flushed all the boys’ gym shorts, causing a pipe to burst. They were among the last to receive a paddling at school, I believe.

Schools are so wussie now.

Back in my day, we used to flush cherry bombs down the toilet. No porcelain shrapnel then, just an occasional burst pipe (and maybe the burst eardrum of that kid who actually poo’d at school.)

The solution of course is armored “bullet proof” toilets for those who are packin. The stylized picture of a ricocheting round should be on the door of every “gun friendly” stall.

Perhaps we can equip the schools with new military surplus toilets. Easy delivery terms available.

Of course, proper signage could only help.

We just need to monitor.

A whole new meaning to ”fire in the hole”

It was the teacher’s fault for leaving her gun unsecured, and if she did that, she should lose her concealed carry permit, and be required to repair the toilet, etc. Just like it’s my fault I dropped a ladder on both feet this morning. I broke my little toe on one foot and badly bruised the other foot. All because I improperly tried to move the ladder. You can bet if I had broken something other than my foot, I’d be paying for that too.

Or maybe we should just outlaw ladders because they’re dangerous! It makes just as much sense.

Flush guns!

Flush gun-toting teachers?

Better her than the kids.
Too bad the bullet did not ricochet into her head.
