US Supreme Court upholds Biden’s regulations on ‘ghost gun’ kits

US Supreme Court upholds Biden’s regulations on ‘ghost gun’ kits

The United States' Supreme Court has upheld ex-President, Joe Biden's administration effort to regulate “ghost gun”; kits.

The regulations allow people to easily obtain parts needed to assemble firearms from online sellers.

The litigation was brought by Jennifer VanDerStok and Michael Andren, both own components they want to use to build guns.

The plaintiffs also include gun rights groups and the makers and sellers of ghost guns.

DAILY POST reports that the apex court decision resolves the legal dispute over whether the kits can be regulated the same way as other firearms.

The regulation includes ghost guns within the definition of “firearm”; as described in the long-standing federal law that regulates guns.

The regulation has been in effect since August 2022.

It also requires that manufacturers and sellers have to obtain licenses, mark products with serial numbers, require background checks and maintain records.

However, the court backed the regulation, saying it “blesses the government's overreach based on a series of errors.”

The ruling was 7-2, with Justice Neil Gorsuch writing the majority opinion saying that the kits can be regulated under the federal Gun Control Act, saying the court had “no trouble rejecting” the arguments made by challengers.

The court's three liberals joined four conservatives in the majority. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
