Why would you try to sneak a gun into any medical test area? Even if you didn't know an mri will fuck with a gun, what is the motivation to try to sneak a gun into a medical test room?
A liberal might make her gay when she least expects it!
Holy shit I had a conversation the other day with a dude who said, "democrats just want to touch children and change their genitalia"
He went off about how democrats want to change pedophile name and be more accepting. I told him people don't say that. Only pedophiles do. He went off about how democrats are pedophiles.
He went off about how schools, doctors, and liberal agenda is allowing the mutilation of children's genitalia.
Taking something he says is fact and blowing into the massive majority of all Democrat fundamentals.
ask him what he thinks of circumcion without consent at young age and I bet he will defend that without hesitation
In that situation, the best thing to do is agree with them and then start telling them about how voting is a way for the goverment to track you and/or .. plant .. fucking alien brocolli seeds in your brain or something, so never ever vote
Tell him there are more convicted Christian & Republican paedophiles than Democrats.
He'd challenge it and probably call it propoganda.
Sounds like you met one of my coworkers.
BTW, the justification for using different names for pedophiles - like minor attracted person - isn't to normalize child abuse.
Rather its to get people to seek and accepted help.
The real goal for us should be protecting kids. Not punishing people with dirty thoughts.
I think that's a good cause, but isn't the definition of a pedophile meaning one who likes young aged people? Minor attracted person is the same thing with extra steps. Same stigma, same thoughts, same people.
Get the help but unfortunately it may be one of the things that shouldn't be vocalized in a normal setting as most people are too narrow minded to help.
Removing stigma helps us talk about the issue. That's why MAP phrasing is promoted by those more concerned with child protection than virtue signalling.
These kinds of conversations are why I quit my last job. I couldn't take it anymore.
I'd get whole tirades like that and just be like...
"Ok...uh...sure...so...welcome to the library, did you want to print something or...?"
They turned me into a newt.
I got better
Burn her anyway!
No one's giving her 5G on her watch!
Or on her phone!
Cowardice. People that think they need a gun on them at all times are paranoid cowards... Which also makes them the last people who should be able to own a gun.
People shouldn't have guns. Simple as that.
Who the hell decided allowing every civilian a fully functional firearm is a good idea
Gun Manufacturers
People who need guns in order to feel safe live in a shithole.
Routinely carrying a concealed handgun can create considerable difficulties when a person unexpectedly ends up somewhere they can't do so. Leaving it in a car is a significant risk for theft (and stolen guns get used for bad things). Leaving it with medical staff isn't great. Leaving it unattended outside an exam room presents obvious dangers to anyone who might happen upon it.
It's hard to find yourself in an MRI room without adequate warning that anything magnetic will become a projectile though. I think most places give the patient both written and verbal warnings, and the article here says this patient was warned about metal and specifically about guns.
They literally give you a locker when you go in for an MRI because you have to spend so long naked. This was never a problem for her. She's just stupid.
Facilities vary. I didnt have secure storage when I got an MRI, but I didnt bring a gun or anything else unreasonable to leave unattended.
The question wasn't whether she's stupid (clearly she is), but why someone would bring a gun into a medical exam.
"Freedom".
But the MRI confiscated my gunz! What part of, "shall not be infringed" does it not understand?!
amurica at it's finest
Freedumb!
To own the libs, duh
Own the libs, shoot your own butt!
Personally I'm always very offended when someone wounds themselves in a profoundly stupid and preventable manner. I truly hope they don't do it again, that would be terrible. 😉
Is this different in the states? In Germany every time I had to enter one of those I had to put away every single metallic item on me, including piercings and shit. They warn you very thoroughly that you cannot bring metal objects with you because of the high magnetic forces of the machine.
You can’t. My guess is, it was a party or off the clock silliness.
You can’t even wear your own clothes in those machines. Hospital gowns couldn’t handle the weight of even the smallest handgun.
The details are purposely scant because it had to be reported but they didn’t want to share what really happened.
Had an MRI a couple of weeks ago. Wore my own clothes. Tech did say I should lower my trousers to my knees when I pointed out that there was a fly zip, but didn’t seem too bothered.
Zips are brass alloy and non-magnetic
I’d never considered what they were made of. Live and learn.
I've done MRI 3 times. Wore my own clothes all three times.
I had a head MRI a few weeks ago. They didn't make me take off my clothes, they just triple checked I had nothing metal on me or inside me by asking me several times.
There don't need to be additional details. She snuck a gun into the MRI room and found out why you shouldn't do that.
She fucked around, then she found out.
