The Reason This Veteran’s Guns Were ConfiscatedPosted in News (http://www.everyjoe.com/topic/news/)

A dispute with a neighbor turned into a shocking nightmare for Rick Bailey, a retired 56-year-old Navy veteran from Glendale, Arizona. After taking issue with his neighbor’s insistence on parking bulky company vehicles in their shared cul-de-sac, Bailey became the victim of a court injunction that resulted in $25,000 worth of guns being confiscated from his home by police.
http://cdn3.everyjoe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/rifle-gun-rights.jpgAccording to Bailey (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/04/01/disabled-navy-vet-left-devastated-after-all-of-his-guns-are-confiscated-and-he-still-cant-believe-why/), who worked as a software systems engineer until his disability forced him to retire, his neighbor would bring vehicles used by his landscaping company and park them in front of his home. These vehicles, Bailey claims, were essentially dump trucks, filled with smelly waste products that would irritate him as he relaxed on his porch.
Fed up with his neighbor’s refusal to remove the vehicles, Bailey took his dispute to the city, which sided with the veteran. His neighbor was required to move any and all work-related vehicles from his private residence. Even then, Bailey claims that his neighbor would bring the offending dump trucks to his home on the weekend, when city officials were not working, just to spite him.
Their arrangement worked well enough for two months, until Bailey called the police to report toxic odors coming from his neighbor’s home. The call backfired: when police arrived at Bailey’s home, they told him that his neighbor had previously called the police to complain about death threats. They accused Bailey of threatening to shoot his neighbor and hide his body in his dump trucks, a claim that Bailey vehemently denies.
Bailey’s neighbor took the issue further, requesting a protective order. The judge who approved the order also decided that Bailey, who hadn’t been convicted of issuing any threats, should be compelled to relinquish the rights to his firearms. As soon as the judge signed the order, police arrived at Bailey’s house to execute it, removing all firearms from his home.
According to the terms of the protective order (which can be seen on The Blaze (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/04/01/disabled-navy-vet-left-devastated-after-all-of-his-guns-are-confiscated-and-he-still-cant-believe-why/), Bailey should have his guns returned to him in one year. Still, Bailey plans to fight what he sees as an unfair turn of events. A GoFundMe page (http://www.gofundme.com/pvtxkk) has been set up to pay for legal fees related to the order, and so far $4,200 has been raised of the $5,000 goal Bailey, who spent a decade collecting his firearms, wants people to realize how unfair the legal system has treated a legal gun owner and veteran. He warns that others could find their guns taken away for dubious reasons as well.

Glendale, AZ - A disabled Navy veteran has just had all of his firearms confiscated due to false claims made by his next door neighbor.
Rick Bailey, 56, was honorably discharged from the Navy with a medical discharge in 1986. He then worked as a software systems engineer until 2001, when he finally had to retire due to medical reasons.
Bailey was recently involved in a landscaping dispute with his neighbor, Dustin Moss. These verbal disagreements reportedly lasted for several months.
On March 16th, Bailey called the police due to a strong smell of toxic chemicals coming from his neighbors home. Then on March 17th, Moss went to the courthouse and filed for a protective order, stating that Bailey threatened to shoot him quite some time ago.
I personally spoke with Bailey who adamantly denies ever making those threats. Furthermore, there’s no police record of any complaints made against Bailey.
Despite having no evidence other than the allegations made by Moss, Judge Baxter still issued the protective order. The judge also attached a separate injunction to confiscate all of Mr. Bailey’s firearms.

The same day that Judge Baxter issued the injunctions, the Glendale police department confiscated Bailey’s collection of firearms that took him a lifetime to accumulate. Bailey told me that 28 guns were taken valued at over $25,000. Within his collection was a World War 2 era M1 Garand valued at $5500, and a Winchester 1897 pump shotgun.

Mr. Bailey obviously plans to appeal these court orders, as there’s no truth to Moss’s claims whatsoever.
Furthermore, the laws that got Mr. Bailey’s guns taken away are the same type of so-called “Gun Sense” laws that today’s anti-gun groups are lobbying for.
A Go Fund Me page (http://www.gofundme.com/pvtxkk) has been set up to assist Mr. Bailey with his legal fees he’ll likely encounter attempting to recover his guns.
:sad: world we live in.

Firearms ownership is a privilege, not a right. That would be the implication in Glendale, Arizona, where a sitting judge ordered the complete confiscation of a disabled veterans firearms without a charge being filed, only the complaint of a disgruntled neighbor. We have an exclusive interview with Mr. Rick Bailey, the victim of this tyranny. Support Mr. Bailey via this GoFundMe account.
Oregon is seeking to keep up with its socialist neighbor to the north. The Beaver State senate is “fast-tracking” a bill that would make it illegal sell or transfer a firearm from one citizen to another without first seeking government approval. Again, you are supposed to accept a loss of rights for the promise of “safety.”
