The Supreme Court agreed to take up a Biden administration appeal concerning the regulation of ghost guns, which lack serial numbers and are increasingly common in crime scenes. The regulation requires unfinished parts, such as handgun frames or long gun receivers, to be treated as firearms, ensuring they have serial numbers and undergo background checks before sale, like other firearms.
Local law enforcement seized over 19,000 ghost guns in 2021, prompting the regulation to address their proliferation. U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor previously rejected the rule, suggesting that changes to federal law were necessary for expanded coverage of firearm parts.
