Decree on “Ghost Gun” from the “Ghost Gun” era

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday supported the regulation of the bidet administration on the so-called “Ghost Guns”, with votes of 7-2.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote an opinion, joined by Chief Judge John Roberts, as well as Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanja Brown Jackson. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito did not separate.

It was disputed whether the devices meet the federal definition of “firearm” and “frames and recipients”, and whether the bureau for alcohol, tobacco, firearm and explosives (ATF) exceeded its authority to regulate and carry out their sale.

Ghost Guns is a functional weapon that is often bought online and some salesmen sell as easy to assemble. The Ministry of Justice announced more than 19,000 difficult to travel Ghost Guns He seized law enforcement in 2021, which is more than ten times in just five years.

“The Congress could authorize ATF to regulate any part of the firearm or any object easily convertible in one,” Thomas wrote in his disagreement. “But, I did not. I would adhere to the words of the congresses adopted. Using my Romanesque” artifact noun “methodology, most have outlined a different course that calls for unpredictable consequences and does not offer no limiting principle.”

The administration announced that it did not want to ban the sale or use of these sets, just demanding them to fulfill the same requirements of other commercial weapons traders. These include serial numbers on parts and Background checks on customers.

The Federal Appellate Court broke up the updated rules, after the legal challenge of the seller and buyers of the sets, but the Ministry of Justice appealed the Supreme Court.

Weapons’ rights groups say that the rule is “unconstitutional and violent”, claiming that ghost kits consist of “non-decorative objects”.

Devices can also be made of 3D printers or from individual parts. It is part of the separate legal challenges in the lower courts.
