Supreme Court agrees to hear Biden admin appeal in ghost guns case
Supreme Court,Gun Control And Gun Rights,Ghost Guns
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a case stemming from a disputed regulation of so-called "ghost guns."
The big picture: The Biden administration appealed a lower court ruling that invalidated its attempt to regulate the firearms, which are typically self-assembled and do not have serial numbers, making them difficult to trace.
The Supreme Court temporarily stayed the lower court ruling last summer.
The court will take up the case, Garland v. VanDerStok, in its next term, per ABC News.
Catch up quick: The Biden administration's 2022 regulation changed the definition of a firearm to include unfinished gun parts, like frames and receivers.
