The Nevada Supreme Court recently made two significant rulings, upholding a state ban on ghost guns and rejecting an anti-abortion initiative that was no longer headed to the November ballot. The court overturned a lower court's decision that deemed the 2021 law regulating firearm components with no serial numbers as too broad and unconstitutionally vague. The law had been challenged by a gun manufacturer, Polymer80 Inc., which argued that terms such as 'blank,' 'casting,' and 'machined body' were not clearly defined. However, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the language of the statute was understandable through ordinary usage and common understanding.
The court emphasized that the ban on 'ghost guns' was crucial for public safety and aimed to protect Nevadans from violent crime. Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford hailed the ruling as a win for sensible and practical measures to combat gun violence.
