#SCOTUS seems poised to uphold a major #GunRegulation imposed by the #Biden admin that requires #BackgroundChecks, #SerialNumbers & sales #records for the nearly untraceable #firearms known as #GhostGuns.
A majority of the justices seemed skeptical during oral argument on Tues of the position taken by gun owners, parts makers & #2A groups: that the govt exceeded its authority in 2022 when it imposed new rules for the weapons.

#SCOTUS announced on Monday that it would NOT hear a major #SecondAmendment challenge to a Maryland #law banning #SemiautomaticRifles like the #AR15. As is the court’s practice, its brief order gave no reasons.
The move, over the objections of 3 conservative justices, let the ban stand & reflected the court’s intermittent engagement with #GunRights. It has issued only 3 significant #2A decisions since recognizing an individual right to own #guns in 2008.
