Supreme Court Justice Alito temporarily blocks a lower court’s decision to strike down a regulation aimed at reining in privately made firearms known as “ghost guns” that are difficult for law enforcement to trace.
The action by Alito, who handles emergency matters arising from a group of states including Texas, effectively freezes the litigation as the court weighs afrom President Joe Biden’s administration to reinstate the rule pending an appeal.
The administration asked the justices to halt a Texas-based federal judge’s nationwide ruling that invalidated a Justice Department restriction on the sale of ghost gun kits while it appeals to the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Justice Department rule, issued in 2022 to target the rapid proliferation of the homemade weapons, bans “buy build shoot” kits without serial numbers that individuals can get online or at a store without a background check. The kits can be readily assembled into a working firearm in as little as 20 minutes.
