Court slaps California again on 2nd amendment

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.

The only amendment the --------- care about.

"Two of three judges agreed the law "meaningfully constrains" the constitutional right to keep arms by forcing gun owners to get rechecked before each purchase of bullets"

Medicaid recipients have to get rechecked every six months...

I tend to agree a check should be good for "a while."

Just like when California voted against funding illegal immigrants services and the courts ruled against them.

California really isn't a democracy.

EVerify can't recheck, do you oppose that?

Pathetic. Did California follow the courts decisions or pretend it knew better and ignore the law?

You are probably not really even an American.

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.

You'll bend the knee for the second amendment yet won't care about the deaths it causes. That's outrageous to say the least.

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.

Sur they are. The vast majority of them are from the Americas which makes them American.

The Second Amendment gives illegal aliens the same rights as you and me, Boaz.

"Its not a democracy where everything you vote for gets overturned."

It most certainly is. It's called checks and balances.

If you vote for something that is unconstitutional and it gets overturned in the courts that only proves that democracy works.

You don't get to impose unconstitutional laws on others just because the voters voted to. That is called mob rule. Not a democracy.

"California isn't really a democracy"

I guess that's why Chinese Communist Party operatives feel so at home there.
