Supreme Court Reviews Ghost Guns Regulation Amid Rising Gun Crimes

The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing a 2022 regulation from President Biden's administration on 'ghost guns,' untraceable firearms often used in crimes. The rule, challenged in lower courts, seeks to impose serial numbers and background checks for ghost gun parts. The debate focuses on federal authority versus gun rights.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday began examining the legality of President Joe Biden's 2022 regulation targeting 'ghost guns.' These firearms, which can be quickly assembled at home from kits purchased online, have become increasingly prevalent in crimes across the nation.

The regulation, intended to require serial numbers on parts and mandate background checks, has been challenged by gun manufacturers and rights groups. They argue the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives exceeded its authority without input from Congress.

As the debate intensifies, the U.S. stands divided over gun rights, with the Supreme Court's decisions potentially reshaping the landscape of firearm regulations and public safety amidst rising gun violence.
