Supreme Court Allows Regulation of ‘Ghost Guns’

“The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the Biden administration’s regulation of ghost guns, the largely untraceable firearms that had been used in a growing number of crimes over the last decade and alarmed law enforcement agencies,” the Washington Post reports.

“In a 7-2 ruling, the justices allowed 2022 rules by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that require serial numbers, sales receipts and background checks for the weapons, which are typically purchased in kits online and assembled at home.”

“The decision could be considered a departure for the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, which has been skeptical of gun regulation in recent terms.”
