The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on a Biden administration regulation concerning 'ghost guns,' which are mail-order kits that enable individuals to construct untraceable firearms at home. These ghost guns have been increasingly appearing at crime scenes, prompting concerns about their regulation.
The regulation in question, issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in 2022, mandates that ghost gun manufacturers include serial numbers on the kits and conduct background checks on purchasers. The court is tasked with determining whether the ATF exceeded its authority with this regulation.
