  1. …The opinion is the latest in a series of #firearm cases to reach #SCOTUS since a landmark ruling expanding gun rights in 2022 led to a wave of challenges around the country.

    Since then, the high court has upheld a law aimed at protecting victims of #DomesticViolence & strict regulations on #GhostGun kits but has struck down a ban on #BumpStocks, an accessory that enables rapid fire. The justices considered two firearm cases this term alone.

  2. There were no noted dissents in the unsigned order, which was necessary because of contrary rulings from lower courts.

    In August, #SCOTUS on a 5-4 vote allowed the #Biden admin’s regs to stay in effect. But after the order was issued, US District Judge Reed O’Connor of #Texas again stepped in to block the regulations as applied to 2 manufacturers who supply a large number of the #GhostGun kits sold nationwide.

  3. While responding to a license plate reader notification, APD discovered both a wanted vehicle and an unregistered, untraceable "ghost gun." This kind of weapon can be 3D-printed from instructions or bought in pieces on the internet with no identifying serial numbers.

  5. CW: U.S. law, civil suit against gun makers and distributors

  6. "Eighty Thousand Ghost Guns"
    by Tucson Coyote

    Three hundred thousand bores,
    moved by men with boat ores,
    `twas the need to brake free.

    Eighty Thousand a Ghost Gun
    by which freedom was won,
    Today, 2A, they seek to take away.
