The Biden administration urged the Supreme Court late on July 27 to suspend a Department of Justice rule regulating so-called ghost guns that a federal judge in Texas struck down earlier this month.

“Ghost gun” is a pejorative term used by gun control advocates to describe a homemade firearm that lacks a serial number and therefore cannot be tracked by law enforcement.
