Supreme Court Likely to Uphold Biden's 'Ghost Gun' Regulation in 6-3 Vote
Oct 8, 2024, 03:00 PM
The US Supreme Court is set to hear a pivotal case challenging the Biden administration's regulation of 'ghost guns,' which are firearms assembled from kits or 3D-printed parts that lack serial numbers and are difficult to trace. The regulation, introduced in 2022, mandates that these kits include serial numbers and that purchasers undergo background checks, similar to traditional firearms. This case, Garland v. VanDerStok, has significant implications for federal gun control laws, as the justices will determine whether the ATF's rule aligns with existing firearms legislation. The court's initial reactions suggest a likelihood of upholding the Biden administration's regulation, which aims to curb the proliferation of these untraceable weapons amid rising gun violence concerns. The justices indicated that the 5th Circuit may be reversed, potentially by a 6-3 vote.
