Supreme Court to hear arguments in challenge to ATF's ghost gun rule
CBSN
Washington — The Supreme Court on Tuesday will convene to hear arguments Tuesday over the Biden administration's efforts to regulate unserialized firearms called ghost guns, considering for the second time in a matter of months whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Tobacco went too far when it took unilateral action to curb gun violence.
Brought by a group of firearms owners, gun rights groups and manufacturers, the challengers are seeking to invalidate the regulation that seeks to subject ghost guns to the same requirements as commercially made firearms.
But the Biden administration has warned that striking down the rule would give criminals, minors and others who are legally barred from having guns access to kits that can be assembled into a functioning, untraceable firearm in less than 30 minutes.
