47 guns.
That's how many this guy had when he made a threat about shooting up a school on Friday! His rights, his rights!
A Cedar Lake, Ind. man who police said had 47 guns and ammunition hidden in his home was arrested after threatening to set his wife on fire and "kill as many people as he could" at an elementary school near his home Friday, police said.
Early Friday morning, police were called to the home of Von I. Meyer, 60, in 9300 block of West 133rd Avenue, after it was reported that he threatened to set his wife on fire after she fell asleep, according to a statement from Cedar Lake police.
Meyer also said he was going to enter the Jane Ball Elementary School less than 1,000 feet from his home and "kill as many people as he could before police could stop him," the statement said.
Police notified school officials and security measures were taken at all local schools on Friday, the statement said.
Hidden in his 2story, "historic" home, authorities found 47 guns and ammunition with an estimated value of over 100,000, the statement said. Many of the guns seized during the search were collector's items, the statement said.
Saturday morning, formal charges were filed against Meyer, who police said is a known member of motorcycle gang, and a search warrant was issued.
That afternoon, West 133rd Avenue was closed while authorities entered Meyer's home, which is connected to the school by a series of trails and walking paths in a wooded area, and took custody of Meyer without incident.
He was charged with four counts of felony intimidation, one count of misdemeanor domestic battery, and two counts of misdemeanor resisting law enforcement, the statement said.
Meyer was taken to the Lake County, Ind., Jail where he was being held without bail pending an initial hearing. It was not immediately known when the hearing will be, police said Sunday.
Cedar Lake is about 45 miles south of Chicago near the IndianaIllinois state line.

Re: 47 guns.
Those gun laws are really going to change his mind about breaking the law and owning firearms.
WTF!?
Does anyone else want to pack up their family and head to the Caribbean for a while?
Except that the mass killers have been obtaining their weapons legally. And I suppose shooting your mother in the face with her legally obtained gun would be an illegal acquisition of a gun; on the other hand, if Mom hadn't been allowed to stock an arsenal, he couldn't have obtained that one in the manner he did.
Sorrry to offend you with posting the Chicago Tribune today.
Because no one actually died.
The world is ending in 5 days. Let this *** start shooting at Satan and/or Kirk Cameron.
Unable to even.

She had 6. And an individual doesn't need 6 guns to protect herself.
And an arsenal is just defined as a place to store weaponry. Surely as a responsible gun owner, you know that.
True that.
There was a high schooler arrested in a town less than an hour away from us at 5 in the morning the day of the mass shooting in Connecticut because he was supposedly planning a "columbine type shooting". I'm sure no one has heard about it.
You know, speeders don't mind speed limits. We should probably abolish them.
And drunk drivers don't pay attention to drunk driving laws. Let's get rid of those too!
Hell, some parents don't put their kids in carseats. Please make sure we don't do anything like requiring carseats to leave the hospital.
Also, WTF is this about watching how much fertilizer people buy? Or limiting cough syrup purchases?
And on.
And on.
And on.
I'm so sick and tired of this conversation, which always ends up with gunnies clinging to their many weapons shrieking "My precious precious rights" while parents bury their cold dead children.
You need to admit something - this isn't about criminals being to obtain things illegally - this is about YOU choosing your guns over public safety and allowing shootings like Aurora or CT as collateral damage to your refusal to have even the most basic, reasonable gun laws on the books.

Your hysteria makes you sound like a nutter extremist.
Using your examples...
It is illegal to speed. People choose to break the law and it kills people.
It is illegal to drive drunk. People choose to break the law and it kills people.
It is illegal to improperly restrain your child in a vehicle. People choose to break the law and it kills people.
So if you make guns illegal... Now people will choose to abide by the law? Don't be so naive.
Making guns illegal isn't going to make this utopian society with no firearms.
I am all for stricter firearm control, implementing a national standard, and some kind of evaluation of potential owners.
But then again, I am trying to keep an open mind. It seems like some people, on both sides, don't want to. They are dead set against compromise and discussion.
It's their way or the high way and they use extreme imagery and hyperbole to try to prove their point.
Sad.
How many people were squealing after the election about the electoral college and it being antiquated? Why are those same? people unwilling to revisit or review other possibly outdated establishments?
Thank you. You just made our argument with this statement.
I don't think anyone is arguing that things don't need to change. It's just the kind of change that people are demanding. The banning of all guns isn't going do it. Should there be limitations on amount of fire arms, maybe. Should there be stricter policies to obtain guns, yes. Should there be better mental health care available to those who need it? FUCKYES.
HeatherR hasn't been here in for.ev.er.
I'd rather have her "clogging the board" (all three posts) with her agenda than have another invasion of the AEs.
I also like it when GM and HeatherR are feisty in the same thread.

So what if she is here with her ranting? Dude, it's three posts. Three. She's not posting 20 bajillion individual posts, twitter-style. She hasn't been here and most of the other posts are dead.
Are you going to go after twatley now for doing the same damn thing on Friday? She posted numerous times after the original posts. New shootings and she would post about them.
Damn.
Or maybe we should read more about potty training or MamaA's snooping in her dad's room and good friend skillz.
