Supreme Court will weigh challenge to Biden regulations on ‘ghost guns’

The Supreme Court is set to hear a major case on Tuesday regarding the regulation of “ghost guns,” which are defined as untraceable firearms that can be assembled from kits sold online.

In one of their first cases of the term, the nine justices are slated to weigh a 2022 rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives that aims to treat ghost gun kits and gun parts like other firearms. The so-called “Frame or Receiver” rule makes the parts and kits subject to serial number requirements, background checks, and other regulations under the Gun Control Act of 1968.
