COPYCATS ALREADY: Man with 47 guns arrested after threatening elementary school - Polidicks

[url]http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_INDIANA_MAN_GUNS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT[/url] [quote]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. Von. I. Meyer, 60, of Cedar Lake, was arrested Saturday after prosecutors filed formal charges of felony intimidation, domestic battery and resisting law enforcement against him. He was being held Sunday without bond at the Lake County Jail, pending an initial hearing on the charges, police said in a statement. Cedar Lake Police officers were called to Meyer's home early Friday after he allegedly threatened to set his wife on fire once she fell asleep, the statement said. [B]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. [/B]Police said in the statement that they notified school officials and boosted security at all area schools Friday - the same day 26 people, including 20 students, were shot and killed at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. On Saturday, officers served warrants at Meyer's home and arrested him. The statement said police had learned that Meyer kept many weapons in his older, two-story home and "is a known member of the Invaders Motorcycle Gang." [B]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. [/B]Cedar Lake is about 45 miles southeast of Chicago. A dispatcher with Cedar Lake Police said that the police chief was not available for interviews until Monday. Lake County police spokeswoman Patti Van Til said Sunday that a SWAT team from the department assisted in serving Saturday's warrants.[/quote]

By the time this is all over and done I hope it doesn't impact gun law.

Why an elementary school?

[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;38853635]Why an elementary school?[/QUOTE] copycatting sandy hook ofc

[QUOTE=mopman999;38853620]why would you ever want that many guns[/QUOTE] Same reason anyone collects anything, I suppose.

47 guns. the definition of overkill

[QUOTE=mopman999;38853620]why would you ever want that many guns[/QUOTE] why would you ever want so many toasters

[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;38853635]Why an elementary school?[/QUOTE] Because he's clearly mentally unstable.

[QUOTE=Valnar;38853663]Why would you ever want 226 video games.[/QUOTE] Well got me there. Thing is most of them I got for free or cheap, don't these cost upwards of hundreds of dollars?

[QUOTE=mopman999;38853620]why would you ever want that many guns[/QUOTE] Collecting and maintaining firearms is a legitimate and interesting hobby, please try to understand this! I highly doubt he has 47 brand new tactical baby killers - a lot of them probably have historic or sentimental value.

[/quote] "hidden" Makes it sound like he was purposely hiding it from the police when odds are he was just hiding them from would-be burglars. My guns are hidden in my house in case my home is ever broken into, same as my money. Also, I'd like to see a list of what these guns are. For all we know, half of them could be antique muskets :v:

[QUOTE=MIPS;38853630]Rule 1: Don't brag, don't threaten. Just walk in and light shit up.[/QUOTE] Rule 0: How about you just don't kill people to begin with. If you feel the need to do so anyway, shoot yourself in the head first.

Why would you ever want 300 cars?

People collect guns for the exact same reason.

[QUOTE=mopman999;38853620]snip, i get it[/QUOTE] He is one of those that starts going wild buying guns when obama gets elected.

[QUOTE=MIPS;38853630]Rule 1: Don't brag, don't threaten. Just walk in and light shit up.[/QUOTE] Or don't do it in the first place. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=laserguided;38853624]By the time this is all over and done I hope it doesn't impact gun law.[/QUOTE] are your priorities really that fucked

[QUOTE=trotskygrad;38853720]bikers collect antique muskets?[/QUOTE] My point is, "47 guns" could be literally anything. Odds are people are going to see the article and assume each and everyone one is a machine gun of some type when that is extremely unlikely.

[QUOTE=NightmareXx;38853773]are your priorities really that fucked[/QUOTE] If banning guns magically solved gun crime or even put a noticeable dent in it I'd happily sacrifice my hobby for it, but it won't, so all I can hope is that knee-jerk reactions to gun crime don't punish law abiding citizens like me.
