SCOTUS to Hear Challenge to President Biden's 'Ghost-gun' Curbs

The case will be heard during the court's next term

On Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) agreed to decide the legality of a federal regulation aimed at reining in homemade "ghost guns" as President Joe Biden's administration combats the increasing use of these largely untraceable weapons in crimes nationwide.

The justices took up the administration's appeal of a lower court's decision finding that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) exceeded its authority in issuing the 2022 rule targeting parts and kits for ghost guns, which can be assembled at home in minutes.

The case will be heard during SCOTUS' next term, which begins in October.
