Ind. man with 47 guns arrested after school threat

CEDAR LAKE, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana man who allegedly threatened to "kill as many people as he could" at an elementary school near his home was arrested by officers who later found 47 guns and ammunition hidden throughout his home.

...

Meyer also threatened to enter nearby Jane Ball Elementary School "and kill as many people as he could before police could stop him," the statement said. Meyer's home is less than 1,000 feet from the school and linked to it by trails and paths through a wooded area, police said.

...

Officers searched the home, finding 47 guns and ammunition worth more than $100,000 hidden throughout the home. Many of the weapons were collector's guns.

Go on, tell me why anyone needs 47 guns. Tell me he was worried about "home invasions" or he had to go hunting or something. Go on.

I know first hand that there are a lot of right wing gun toting nut cases in Indiana, but now they are threatening to shoot up elementary schools. WOW

It's 1:00 a.m. here. My son has to go to school in six-and-a-half hours. I'm less than thrilled.

I mean, I don't really think he's in danger. But who ever does?

Well, the gun nuts think they're in danger. That's why they're gun nuts. But they're in danger from themselves.
