This is not how it works. Most MRIs have permanent magnets that are dangerous whether the machine is on or not. Even if it was not that type, it would normally have already been on well before the patient arrived for the study.

Only way to stop a bad MRI machine with a gun is a good MRI machine with a gun?

What are the odds of the MRI sucking up the gun, shooting the gun owner, and then dying from it?
Even God must’ve thought that you were a pro-gun asshole.

All those implants the orthopedic surgeons stick inside their patients better be nonmagnetic…
