The rule issued by the Biden administration in 2022 seeks to subject unserialized ghost funs to the same requirements as commercially made firearms.
Washington — The Supreme Court on Tuesday will convene to hear arguments Tuesday over the Biden administration's efforts to regulate unserialized firearms called ghost guns, considering for the second time in a matter of months whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Tobacco went too far when it took unilateral action to curb gun violence.
Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit also struck down the regulation, finding that only finished firearms, or complete frames or receivers, are covered by the Gun Control Act.The Biden administration then asked the Supreme Court to review that decision, arguing that the rule just ensures that ghost guns comply with the same 'straightforward and inexpensive administrative requirements' that apply to commercial firearms sales.
