Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has agreed to temporarily freeze a lower court order that bars the government from regulating so-called ghost guns – untraceable homemade weapons – as firearms under federal law
Alito acted alone because he has jurisdiction over the lower court involved in the dispute. In the brief order Alito asked for a response from challengers to the regulation by August 2 and suggested the full Supreme Court will rule by August 4. At issue is a request from the Biden administration to allow the regulations to remain in effect while legal challenges play out. “Ghost guns” are kits that a user can buy online to assemble a fully functional firearm.
In late June, Judge Reed O’Connor of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas held that the agency had exceeded its authority in promulgating the rule and blocked it nationwide. A federal appeals court declined to put on hold two key challenged provisions of the regulation.
