one of the first cases, where "gun kill human" and not the National Riffle Organisation's argumentation "humans kill humans, but not guns".

If no one had guns, no one would die from scrunity of whom ever. Very unpopular opinion, I understand, but as an european where guns are "forbidden", I fully support "no guns" politics because my experience show, its better for me not to be killed on any ocassions - which obviously did not happen till today. Thank you Europa.

in my opinion it could be a bit more regulated.

Do expressions like "as a European" imply that you're simply expressing the politics of the political world you live in and not your own individually derived opinions? When someone says "as a European," I somehow intuitively know what they're going to say on a given topic. It's strange to me.

Human still killed human. Gun did not walk into MRI. It was carried in. Man kills self by eschewing due care when in close proximity to MRI should be the headline.

(2023), and article seems to be solely based on a linked (and more interesting) New York Post story: https://nypost.com/2023/02/09/lawyer-dead-after-mri-discharg...

The juicy bit:

> “Both the patient and his companion were properly instructed regarding the procedures for accessing the examination room and warned about the removal of any and all metallic objects,” they [a spokesman for the MRI facility] declared.

> The facility’s PR added that both Novaes and his mother signed a form regarding the protocols, but that the lawyer failed to mention his weapon and entered the unit with it “by his own decision.”

> A police probe confirmed that the [concealed and undeclared] weapon was registered and that the attorney had a valid license for it.

Too bad about the lawyer lingering for 3 weeks in a hospital, before he finally died of his wounds. But otherwise, this sounds like cut-and-dried case of "exercised his own fully-informed free will in taking the risk, and no bystanders nor innocents were injured".

I chose not to link to the New York Post story because of 1) the misleading photograph showing a guy with an assault rifle (https://imgur.com/a/7MyRSmN), and 2) the overwhelming onslaught of ads.
