Supreme Court Upholds Regulation on 'Ghost Guns'

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a regulation from the Biden administration targeting untraceable 'ghost guns.' The 7-2 decision finds the rule consistent with a 1968 law, requiring kits to have serial numbers and undergo background checks. The regulation addresses rising gun violence and facilitates easier tracking of firearms.

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a regulation aimed at curbing the proliferation of 'ghost guns,' as part of efforts initiated by President Biden's administration to address gun violence. The decision, approved by a 7-2 majority, aligns with a 1968 federal law requiring serial numbers on firearm kits and mandates background checks for buyers.

Gun safety advocates hailed the decision as a victory for public safety, with backing from law enforcement officials. Eric Tirschwell of Everytown Law praised the court's stance, emphasizing its importance in rejecting the gun lobby's challenges.

However, some gun rights groups, including the Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation, expressed their opposition, arguing that the regulation oversteps legal boundaries. The ongoing debate reflects America's deep division over gun control and safety measures.
