Sorry but you are wrong. My HOA is a Johnny come lately. They have no control over me. I was here before they were. I have a pontoon, sailboat and bass boat sitting directly in front of my house. I have a burn barrel in back. Maybe the newbies are restricted but I don't even pay HOA dues.
according to the article the HOA said
“Two weeks ago, the property management company at Nashboro Village told its residents no more guns on the property.”
i read that as any gun prior to 2 weks ago are fine. just no more. of course i would ignore it anyway.
Umm, you can have whatever restrictions you want on property that you own but after you sell it guess what?, you don't own it anymore do ya. The problem with HOAs is they DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY.
Mandatory HOAs are a direct violation of private property rights. There is simply no conceivable way mandatory HOAs could be determined to be constitutional. In fact if you believe in mandatory HOAs then it is you that does not subscribe to private property rights.
Their response was, “Oh, we are all pacifists, here.”
Strange and stupid; our GIs insure that so-called “pacifists” can sit around stroking themselves about being “pacifists.”
When Putin’s troops show up at the swanky housing development, the residents will be standing around with their d*cks in their hands and they’ll ALL be screaming for weapons.
A “pacifist” is nothing but a spoiled *asshole who’s always had someone else to do his fighting for him.
You overlook that many states have laws that cover various areas, guns for instance. Here in Georgia State law prohibits cities from regulating the carrying of firearms “in any manner.” Since this involves an even more basic right, owning, one could argue (successfully I’d add) that HOA contracts violate this law and are therefore unconstitutional in Georgia.
Similarly, you might have heard that no HOA anywhere in this country can ban a satellite dish less than 1 meter in diameter. This is because Federal Law prohibits HOAs’ control.
The point is that the ‘home’ is not property of the HOA and they cannot control what is in it, etc. They may be able to enforce how it looks with respect to outside condition, yard appearance, parking of vehicles, etc. because it is an agreement based on perceived value of surrounding property, but inside is OFF LIMITS.

Do you realize how rediculous you sound? How in the world would the previous owners property rights trump the new owners property rights? Do you think the developer or who ever you bought the property from is the first owner of that land? You must have never seen a title plant or chain of title to a piece of real estate. Title can often be traced back hundreds of years with dozens of owners.
take away the mandatory membership and see how many HOAs still exist!
They are unconstitutional because they are private contracts which are forced upon the purchaser.
You may be certain, but you’re legally wrong, and thousands of HOAs in every state prove you wrong.
Do you think a resrictive covenant would hold up if it stated you must be a life member of the NRA?

Reason 1124 why I avoid HOA’s.
Yes and that is why they do not allow you to see the rules until you are at the closing and it is pretty much too late to back out at that point.
