(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from the National Rifle Association, letting California keep using fees paid on firearm transfers to help fund efforts to track down people who acquire guns illegally. The NRA and California gun-rights advocates argued that the state was unconstitutionally using $5 of each $19 transfer fee for what the group says is an unconnected program. The rebuff comes than a week after a gunman killed 17 people and wounded a dozen others at a Florida high school. The rejection adds to a line of Supreme Court setbacks for Second Amendment advocates in recent years. The high court hasn’t taken up a gun-rights appeal since 2010.
