In yet another instance of the insanity that is our country right now, an Indiana man was arrested for making threats to shoot up an elementary school.
His threats were not empty. AP reports:

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.

Ok, clearly we have a man who is suffering from mental illness here, right? First he threatens his wife, then after a weekend full of horrible news about the Newtown tragedy he threatens to shoot up a local elementary school.

Here's the problem: He had the means to do it and he isn't necessarily mentally ill at all. Meyer travels with a rough group.

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."

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.
