Supreme Court to Review Biden's Ghost Gun Regulation
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on the legality of the Biden administration's rule to regulate ghost guns, which have been increasingly found at crime scenes.
- The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case challenging the Biden administration's regulation on ghost guns, aiming to curb the proliferation of these untraceable weapons.
- The regulation requires ghost gun kits to be treated as traditional firearms, necessitating background checks and serial numbers.
- Lower courts had previously struck down the rule, with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling it exceeded ATF's authority.
- The Biden administration argues the rule is crucial for public safety, citing the rapid increase in ghost guns used in crimes.
- The case, set for arguments in the fall, will address whether the ATF's expanded definition of firearms under the Gun Control Act is lawful.
