The New York Times just reported around 1:30 eastern time on Sunday, 12/16 the following:
A man in Indiana who had 47 guns hidden in his home was arrested for threatening to “kill as many people as he could” at an elementary school, the police said. . . . The police were called to Mr. Meyer’s home on Friday after he was said to have threatened to set his wife on fire after she fell asleep, the statement said.
He also threatened to enter a 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.
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.
We are now officially in the age of postmodern domestic terror. There are heavily armed "sleeper cells" everywhere in the nation right now. They are not organized, not following any one particular ideology, not coordinating, but they are effectively terrorizing us.
We just at the slightest hint that outsiders might plot to harm our citizens and we quietly acquiesce to the shredding of our civil liberties to make us feel "safer." But somehow, when those who would do us harm are our friends, family, and neighbors, we shrug and say "that's the price of liberty."
