Gun confiscation could never happen here.” At least, that’s what many people often claim — but an eye-opening incident in Arizona has many supporters of constitutional rights shocked and outraged. <br /> <br />Rick Bailey is a retired U.S. Navy veteran who has a hobby many Americans share: He enjoys collecting and shooting firearms. <br /> <br />His entire collection includes nearly 30 different firearms and is valued at $25,000. Of course, the right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment. <br /> <br />Even in Bailey’s fairly gun-friendly city of Glendale, Arizona, however, it looks like that constitutional protection can be swept aside with disturbing ease. <br /> <br />Fairly recently, Rick Bailey had a small dispute with his neighbor. It’s the kind of thing that happens in neighborhoods everywhere. <br /> <br />The retired veteran was frustrated by large dump trucks being parked next door, where his neighbor runs a landscaping business. <br /> <br />“Around June he brought in two large dump trucks,” he explained. “It smelled like horse manure and it just wafted into our patio.” <br /> <br />Bailey complained to the city, but he claimed that it was a fairly minor issue. “We’ve had feuds, words, but neither one of us threatened each other,” he said. <br /> <br />The neighbor, however, apparently decided to take it to the next level. That person claimed that pictures had been taken on his property and that he felt threatened — and he filed a court Injunction Against Harassment against the Navy veteran. <br /> <br />That’s when Rick Bailey’s right to bear arms was pushed aside, and the government confiscated every single one of his firearms. <br /> <br />“They were at my house at three o clock that afternoon, and it took them about three hours to inventory everything,” stated Bailey. “They took all my collectibles.” <br /> <br />“It was devastating, I couldn’t put it into words,” the veteran continued.
