The Supreme Court announced Tuesday the Biden administration could continue to implement a rule regulating ghost guns after a lower court blocked the feds’ regulation.
Four high court justices would not have allowed the feds to go ahead and implement the rule while the litigation was still pending. Those justices are: Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas., in prohibiting the rule’s implementation, reasoned that the ATF went beyond its authority directed by Congress in implementing the rule. That led to a nationwide order vacating the rule.
The guns are made from kits sold online. A person can use a tutorial video to assemble one in “as little as 20 minutes,” according to the feds. “Some manufacturers of those kits and parts assert that they are not ‘firearms’ regulated by federal law, and thus can be sold without serial numbers, transfer records or background checks. Those features of ghost guns make them uniquely attractive to criminals and others who are legally prohibited from buying firearms,” wrote Elizabeth Prelogar, the U.S. solicitor general, in the government’s filing.
