Full Title Was: Police arrest man with 47 guns after threatening to 'kill as many people as possible' at ANOTHER elementary school at the SAME TIME as Connecticut massacre
An Indiana man with 47 guns and stocks of ammunition was arrested after threatening to go into a local elementary school and 'kill as many people as he could before police could stop him'.
Von Meyer, 60, was arrested on Friday after his wife called Cedar Lake police after he threatened to set her on fire and continue his violent spree by attacking a nearby elementary school.
The loaded threat came the same day that a young man killed 20 children and seven others in Newtown, Connecticut.
When police arrived at Meyer's home, they found 47 guns and ammunition, the sum of which cost more than $100,000.
'Through investigation, police learned that Meyer reportedly had a large number of weapons hidden throughout the two story historical home,' the report states.
The makes and models of the guns have not been released, but many of them were said to be historical collectors items.
Meyer allegedly said that he was going to light his wife on fire once she fell asleep. His plan didn't end there, however, as he set his sights on the Jane Ball Elementary School which is less than 1,000 feet away from his home.
The police report states that the school is easily accessed from Meyer's home by a series of trails and paths that cut through a wooded area.
Officials at Jane Ball School were notified, and they immediately took unspecified security measures.
The same happened at all local schools on Friday because of the threat, which was undoubtedly heightened as news rolled in of the shooting in Connecticut.

The Federal/media conglomerate are making their move on gun owners for sure. They have been doing this since 1968 when Robert Kennedy and MLK were assasinated. Whenever there is a mass murder the media and their Dem partners can always be counted on to push for more gun control.
They never push for control of dangerous mentally ill people. They never demand that liberal judges stop releasing criminals out on the street but they always want to take guns away. The ACLU forced the law to let out mentally ill people so now we have thousands of people who could go off on society if they don’t take their meds and who are living on their own so there is no one to supervise them to make sure that they do take their meds. The law used to allow family members to go to a judge to have a dangerously mentally ill person kept away from society. Now there is little that can be done. It is not just the crazies who go off and kill lots of people at once, there are also single killings, attacks, rapes that must go on every day under the national radar, the stories staying in the local news. These week there was a story on the Boston news of a female mental health worker working in a group home who was raped and murdered buy one of the inmates. There are these group homes thoughout the country, who knows how many similar crimes are being commited by violent mentally-ill people who should be in secure facilities...not group homes.
The media can be very selective when they want to be. Take the case of George Zimmerman, which I think will go down in history as the classic case of the Democrat/media complex acting like a lynch mob. Think about the seriousness of what the Democrat/media complex did to him and the people around him. They lied in many ways just to get their *evil white male gun owner* behind bars. They turned the whole country against him, put him and his family in mortal danger not to mention a family that happened to share his last name. The president interjected himself into the event by hinting that he was sympathetic to Trayvon Martin because he was black. The Democrat/media complex did not care that Zimmerman could be an innocent man going to prison. What happened to Zimmerman could happen to anyone who fit into the handy stereotypes that the Democrat/media complex likes to put on innocent people that they deem to be *enemies* of theirs. The Duke Lacross incident is another example.
“Should be a law for a mandatory life sentence without parole for anyone making such threats.”
No... Probably he shouldn’t be charged with a crime at all. This type of person is “criminally insane” and needs to be locked up for the rest of their life.
I've seen no evidence of this supposed threat. Yet you are already calling for his collection of historical firearms be melted for scrap. You are a disgrace.
That is interesting as I was wondering if the asteroid that blew between the earth and moon recently ...should have disrupted the magnetic field somehow?
I don’t think that explains these shootings at all. The possible shooter in Oklahoma was a young, 18 year old kid who 9/10 couldn’t have cared less about Obama or the economy. Considering that the majority of young people voted for and support Obama, I doubt he had any animosity towards Obama. Even if he did, that doesn’t explain wanting to kill his fellow students and the police.
The 20 year old in Connecticut was very mentally ill based on everything I’ve read about him. Every single person who encountered him said as much. In fact, his mother had told someone a week before this happened that he was getting worse. I doubt politics ever crossed his mind in life. If this was political, he sure as heck wouldn’t have targeted children at an elementary school.
This guy is obviously a loon, and once again, if Obama and the economy had anything to do with this, he wouldn’t kill his wife, and he wouldn’t be targeting children at an elementary school.
If these were related to politics, Obama, or the economy, the shootings wouldn’t be at elementary schools. Besides, there are many people in this country who are conservative and disagree with Obama, but they aren’t going to start shooting human beings. There’s something mentally off and evil about these people.

Democrat? Occupy member? SEIU Union member?,watches CNN? Mentaly iLL?....
Lets get to the truth here.
Okay, might as well say it.
The government has been working for a long time with methods for creating “sleepers” that will perform a specific task upon a certain signal or stimulus.
How better for gun-grabbers to create public sentiment for banning firearms than school massacres?
I’m beginning to believe less and less of what I read and hear in the news.

Perhaps, many changes in field from every direction then..
“Over the last 165 years, scientists have measured the Earth’s magnetic field and have recorded a decline of its’ strength. Today the magnetic field of the Earth is measured at 0.5 gauss. It is estimated that the field of the Earth 4,000 years ago was 5.0 gauss. That is a decrease of 90%.”

“I wonder if this end-of-the-world stuff next week has caused people who were on the ragged edge, to finally go over.”
When’s that supposed to happen? I have tickets to a show in Jan.

I would hope that more than just the word of his pissed off wife would be required to pass that type of sentence.
I'm pretty sure that you're right, and I'm pretty sure it just happened on Friday.
“Should be a law for a mandatory life sentence without parole for anyone making such threats.”
And no Not-guilty by reason of insanity, either.
New moon madness fueled with an approaching Mayan end of times date, and if that doesn’t work we will all fall off the fiscal cliff, should we survive the fiscal cliff fall we will be taxed to death by Obamacare.
Sure makes for a rosy future forecast?
