The Supreme Court upheld a regulation mandating background checks and serial numbers for certain build-it-yourself firearm kits, known as ghost guns.

In response, the Biden administration implemented a rule in 2022 to address these issues. However, gun rights groups are eyeing potential legal challenges, particularly regarding the interpretation of administrative law and pending reviews of regulations by the Trump administration.
The Biden administration moved to close that loophole in 2022 with a rule requiring that certain gun kits be treated like complete firearms and sold with serial numbers and background checks.
