A surge of activity occurred last week in a pivotal case before the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the regulation of ghost guns, which are firearms that can be assembled at home from kits and are difficult for police to trace because of the lack of serial numbers.
A broad coalition of groups, including attorneys general, local government organizations, major city police associations, national security officials, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and gun control advocacy groups, filed amicus briefs on July 2 urging the Supreme Court to uphold federal restrictions on ghost guns.
