Supreme Court reinstates regulation of ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers
The Supreme Court is reinstating a regulation aimed at reining in the proliferation of firearms without serial numbers, called ghost guns.
The Supreme Court is reinstating a regulation aimed at reining in the proliferation of ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers that have been turning up at crime scenes across the nation in increasing numbers.
The court on Tuesday voted 5-4 to put on hold a ruling from a federal judge in Texas that invalidated the Biden administration’s regulation of ghost gun kits. The regulation will be in effect while the administration appeals the ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans — and potentially the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the court’s three liberal members to form the majority. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas would have kept the regulation on hold during the appeals process. Neither side provided an explanation.
Hopefully SCOTUS makes the right decision once they acrltually review the case. The ATF has no right to decide themselves that 80% kits are suddenly illegal.
Good luck regulating them when you can 3d print them.
People were making their own firearms for over a century before 3D printers were a thing, just saying.
If you can't prevent all murder why forbid it? /S
This just says they can't sell 80%s and the rest of a firearm in the same shopping cart. Doesn't seem like much of a restriction to home makers.
Well that’s going to pass off a lot of Texans and other gun nuts, which I pretty much one and the same.
Gun nut here: Not a Texan and also not really pissed off about this. I also think it probably won't make much of a difference and home-made firearms have been around for well over 100 years so if someone really wants to make one and doesn't care about regulations, they're just going to make one anyways.
I agree, what I classify as a gun but is someone who needs 30 different rifles and more than one handgun, dont hunt and is afraid they will be attacked by anyone if they don’t have one or more guns on their person at one time, just to clarify.
I’m not anti-gun, I just don’t see a need for so many guns in one household whether legal or not. I honestly don’t think ghost guns and kits should be regulated some how, and serial numbers help obtain this
