Supreme Court Upholds Biden-Era Ghost Gun Regulation in 7-2 Ruling

The decision affirms the ATF's authority to regulate untraceable gun kits as firearms under the Gun Control Act of 1968.

The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that ghost guns, sold as build-it-yourself kits, can be regulated like traditional firearms.
The decision supports the Biden administration's 2022 regulation requiring serialization, background checks, and licensing for ghost gun kits.
Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, affirming the ATF's authority under the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Dissenting justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito argued the ruling imposes unforeseen burdens on manufacturers and oversteps judicial boundaries.
The ruling leaves room for future legal challenges to the regulation's application to specific products.
