The Supreme Court has issued a ruling that will have a major impact on the availability of “ghost guns” in the United States. On Monday, the court ordered two internet sellers of gun parts to comply with a Biden administration regulation aimed at preventing the sale of firearms that lack serial numbers and are difficult to trace.
The court granted a request from the Biden administration to throw out a lower court ruling that had given two gun part manufacturers an exemption from the regulation while litigation continued. The Supreme Court had previously intervened in August to keep the regulation in effect after it had been invalidated by a lower court.
The regulation is intended to prevent the sale of firearm-making kits available online that can be assembled at home. The Supreme Court’s decision to allow the regulations to be enforced nationwide was made by a 5-4 vote, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the three liberal justices in the majority. No justices dissented publicly from Monday’s brief.
The ruling is expected to have a significant impact on the availability of ghost guns in the United States. It is unclear how the ruling will affect the legal challenges to the regulation that are still working their way through the court system. However, the Supreme Court’s decision is a major victory for the Biden administration and those who support stricter gun control laws.
