The Supreme Court voted 5-4 on Tuesday to allow the Biden administration’s regulations on so-called ghost guns to go into effect.
The ruling is a temporary victory for the administration, but a lawsuit challenging the regulations will continue in the lower courts.
Two conservative justices — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett — joined with the court’s three liberals to allow the government to begin enforcing the regulations that were celebrated by groups pushing for tighter gun laws. Four other conservative justices dissented.At issue are kits used to make homemade firearms, which are commonly called ghost guns because they don’t have serial numbers that make them traceable. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rolled out regulations on these kits last year that required them to have serial numbers and ordered sellers to keep transaction records and run background checks on buyers.
A company that sells gun parts and pro-Second Amendment groups sued to overturn the rule. They argued that ATF overstepped its authority by broadening the definition of a firearm in the rule. Judge Reed O’Connor, a conservative in the Northern District of Texas, blocked the rule from taking effect nationwide last month. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals left O’Connor’s ruling in place.
The Biden administration then filed an emergency appeal at the Supreme Court, urging the court to reinstate the rule. Lawyers for the government argued that unassembled “ghost guns” should be treated like guns that come fully assembled.
“Every speaker of English would recognize that a tax on sales of ‘bookshelves’ applies to IKEA when it sells boxes of parts and the tools and instructions for assembling them into bookshelves,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar wrote in the government’s emergency appeal. “The court’s insistence on treating guns differently contradicts ordinary usage and makes a mockery of Congress’s careful regulatory scheme.”

I own so many guns I’ve lost count and I’m a life member of the National Rifle Association and regular member since 1972.
I would not allow a “ghost gun” in my home.
The only purpose of 80% legal merchandise is to make untraceable ghost guns useful only for criminal activities.

If the NRA does not stop this **** eventually SCOTUS will repeal Heller.
And if you think they can’t, what happened to Roe versus Wade?
I have a constitutional right to keep and bear only legal arms.
