The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a Biden administration effort to regulate “ghost gun” kits that allow people to easily obtain parts needed to assemble firearms from online sellers.

Issued by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the regulation includes ghost guns within the definition of “firearm” as described in the long-standing federal law that regulates guns.

The law "embraces and thus permits ATF to regulate some weapon parts kits," Gorsuch wrote.

He indicated that the ruling is limited, meaning that some products that require "sufficient time, tools and expertise" to create a gun would not necessarily be covered.

The court's three liberals joined four conservatives in the majority. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.

Of course, the Trump administration could simply repeal the regulation in question here. But the decision would still stand, leaving "ghost guns" within the purview of ATF.
