- The Supreme Court ordered two internet sellers of gun parts to comply with a Biden administration regulation targeting ghost guns, firearms that lack serial numbers and are difficult to trace.
- The regulation expanded the definition of a firearm under federal law to include unfinished parts, imposing licensing requirements and background checks for all types of firearms, including those made from individual parts, kits, or 3D printers.
- The decision marks the second time the Supreme Court has acted against a federal judge’s order, ensuring the regulation remains in effect as the administration appeals the ruling.

The decision
SCOTUS very explicitly did not issue a decision. SCOTUS vacated the injuction while the case (VanDerStok v. Garland) proceedes. A court decision (or decisions) will come in the future.
This is a *type *of decision. They didn’t issue a final adjudication, which can also take many forms.
So instead of 80% lowers we’re going to have 70% lowers, cool. Now can we talk about the media radicalization, crushing income disparity, and other socioeconomic root causes of gun violence?
These headlines intentionally omit the “temporarily”, I think.
