Is it this Dec 21st thing that is bringing Whackos out of the woodwork the last week?

The whackos have always been here. And get used to it. And give me your guns.

0emailVon I. Meyer allegedly threatened to set his wife on fire before saying he would 'kill as many people as he could' at a nearby elementary school.

CEDAR LAKE, Ind. — Authorities say an Indiana man who had 47 guns and ammunition in his home has been arrested after allegedly threatening to kill people at an elementary school near his home.

Cedar Lake police were called to the home of 60-year-old Von I. Meyer early Friday after he allegedly threatened to set his wife on fire. A police statement says Meyer also said he would enter Jane Ball Elementary School and "kill as many people as he could."

Authorities found 47 guns and ammunition worth over $100,000.

Prosecutors filed felony intimidation charges against Meyer on Saturday, one day after the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. He is being held without bond.

Cedar Lake is about 45 miles southeast of Chicago.

..Why would anyone need that many guns?.
Should be some flag on gun purchases and any person accumulating say over a dozen weapons should be investigated...yeah, fat chance..gestapo tactics...know you are a gun owner but would wager not 47..
Maybe we are not far from this...

yeah, i have a fraction of that. not sure why people would want that many....
i never intended to have as many as we've got here! won several, inherited a few. but they're different guns/calibres with different uses. muzzleloaders, rifles, shotguns of different sizes. he uses a 12 gauge, i use a 20. a turkey gun...a .410/.22 over under that belonged to his granddad.
they're tools for a variety of uses. it's just a shame that, as usual, a few loonies try to ruin things for everyone else.

Dozen years ago i inherited a AK47 and 357magnum, the ak was used for target practice by a family member, the 357 for home protection..sat in my closet till couple years ago and sold them to local gun store...think i got 250 for both..last year sold my 22 rifle with scope and boxes of ammo...60 bucks...Now all i have is a blowdart gun and 6 darts....Killed a snake once with it.. If i have an intruder i'm screwed, i'll try to give him my wife.

By virtue of his threats AND the volume of firearms, I'd say the guy isn't wrapped too tight. It's not the guns alone - there are many collectors who wouldn't hurt a fly. In fact, they are likely not to give their guns that much use at the range outside of the break-in period for fear of wearing them out and diminishing their value.

As far as "need" for any purchase of any item, it doesn't apply.

Why would Jay Leno need as many cars as he has? He can afford them, so it's his business.

heard part of obama's speech last night. so, how do we proceed? no one wants another of these mass killings to occur, so how do we prevent them? can we?
