A voter-backed California law requiring background checks for people who buy bullets is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday in a blow to the state's efforts to combat gun violence. In upholding a 2024 ruling by a lower court, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law violates the Second Amendment. Voters passed the law in 2016 and it took effect in 2019. Many states, including California, make people pass a background check before they can buy a gun. California went a step further by requiring a background check, which costs either $1 or $19 depending on eligibility, every time someone buys bullets.
Pathetic. Did California follow the courts decisions or pretend it knew better and ignore the law?
You are probably not really even an American.

Its not a democracy where everything you vote for gets overturned.
Keep thinking it is, but it ain't its tryanny.
EVerify can't recheck, do you oppose that?

EVerify doesn't need a recheck, you tool.
People generally don't lose citizenship.
If they aren't a citizen, EVerify flags and alerts the employer when an employee's work authorization is expiring so they can reverify.

No, EVerify doesn't verify if you're a citizen it verifies you have right to work in the US.
Go into any store and look for the EVerify posterboard, anyone can read it, this is how I learned about it (but you won't).
And no the Government doesn't contact the employer again, its up to the employer maintain a DB to ask, BUT the employer has to ask this of EVERYONE, it can't select on date or not ask certain groups or else its in violation of the law.
So companies don't ask again, because its hassle.
Once you are EVerified the employer can never ask again.
ALL Data collected by the GOV is destroyed after 10yrs.
Note that at this time, unless your employer is a federal contractor that has an E-Verify clause in
its contract with the federal government, your employer may use E-Verify only to verify your
employment eligibility within three days of your initial hiring. In addition, your employer may not
use E-Verify to check your work authorization if you were working for the employer before the
employer signed up to use the E-Verify program.
