Supreme Court Likely to Uphold Biden's 'Ghost Gun' Regulations in Garland v. VanDerStok
Oct 8, 2024, 03:26 PM
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a pivotal case challenging the Biden administration's regulations on 'ghost guns,' which are firearms assembled from kits or 3D-printed parts that lack serial numbers, making them difficult to trace. The regulations, introduced in 2022, require these kits to have serial numbers and for purchasers to undergo background checks, similar to traditional firearms. The case, Garland v. VanDerStok, will determine if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has the authority to enforce these rules under federal firearms laws. The justices signaled they are likely to uphold the regulations, with some expressing skepticism about the challenge. The decision could have significant implications for gun control and public safety, as ghost guns have been increasingly linked to crime. The Gun Control Act and an important administrative law question are central to the case, with the 5th Circuit's decision under scrutiny. Justices Barrett and the Chief Justice appeared particularly skeptical of the challenge.
