Should guns be banned in hospitals?

48. Well think about it..

It's kind of like having rules for no-smoking vs not having cigarettes on you. It's easy to declare the first one but would require full searching of everyone to make sure none got into the place at all.

Same with guns, obviously something like brandishing or worse isn't allowed (but still happens). When someone smokes in a building with a sign they can be easily thrown out. If someone starts shooting, you're left defenseless and have to fight with your hands against bullets and you'll very likely lose.

There's just no way to be 'safe' unless there's metal detecting and searching to be sure everyone is disarmed. If you think 'no guns allowed' signs means there really aren't any you're delusional. Again, if it's something that won't hurt you it's fine. If it's something potentially deadly I prefer either to know for sure everyone's been scanned or to be able to defend myself.
