Biden Wants SCOTUS to Hear 'Ghost Gun' Appeal
Bearing Arms ^ | 2/8/24 | Tom Knighton

Posted on 02/08/2024 9:51:17 AM PST by CFW

President Joe Biden acts as if he's never met a gun control law that he didn't like. Especially not over the last 30 years or so, that's for sure.

Unfortunately for him, he's been stymied in pretty much every bit of legislation he's tried since the Assault Weapon Ban in 1994. Sure, there was the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, but as bad as that was, we all know it was a drop in the bucket for what he wanted.

The most meaningful thing he's accomplished has been in regard to so-called ghost guns and that was only through executive order--one that the courts have already killed.

It matters to Biden, too. That's why he's pushing the Supreme Court to hear an appeal to that previous court ruling.

"The Biden administration on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower-court ruling that would prevent it from regulating privately made firearms called "ghost guns" that are difficult for law enforcement to trace.

The U.S. Department of Justice in its petition argued the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in November wrongly declared that a rule adopted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in 2022 to combat the rapid proliferation of ghost guns was "unlawful."

The rule updated the definition of a "firearm," "frame" and "receiver" under the Gun Control Act of 1968 to address the rise of ghost guns with no serial numbers that can be assembled from kits that can be bought online or at a store without a background check and lack serial numbers.

There were more than 19,000 suspected ghost guns reported in 2021 to the ATF as having been recovered by law enforcement in criminal investigations - a 1,000% increase from 2017, according to the Justice Department.

The left wants all the guns, and I mean all of them, out of the hands of law abiding citizens.

Yep. I seem to recall SCOTUS had some ruling on student loan debt forgiveness.

Biden has nothing to do with this. The Commie Junta has it.

Biden is too busy talking to dead people.

For the record, when we here refer to Biden (the Presidential administration), we are actually referring to the communist criminal cabal that is operating the strings in the background. Biden himself is eating ice cream, and as you say, talking to dead people.

That’s why I will never comply-—we know the outcome. Over 150 million innocent people have died in less than 100 years when guns are limited or banned.

I know, let’s make it illegal for convicted felons to possess firearms.

Then let’s make sure that Soros-bought DAs don’t dismiss or plea away a firearms charge.

You are absolutely correct! Obama’s hand is the main one that smells like Biden’s butt, and I suspect Val Jarret and Susan Rice still have some control over the potato.

I’ve never seen a ghost gun for sale at any gun stores or gun shows.

The only thing Biden wants is another scoop, these are the preppies who are actually running the country.

Same here. If the courts would go after gang-members who are felons and carry stolen guns with filed off serial numbers, their “ghost” gun crime problem would soon disappear. How often do you hear of a Chicago multi-felon be federally charged and sentenced for a “gun” crime? It very seldom happens.

Why it’s so silly it just might work!

Any crook who wants t gun to terrorize / rob / kill folks will go to the gun store and be thwarted by such a law. And forcing street level gun dealers to perform background checks will clean the rest of them up.

I mean, look how well the federal “no drug addicts can have guns” law prevented Hunter “The one who didn’t die” Biden from buying a brand new gun. They’d be breaking the law that enjoins anyone from making false statements on official government forms!

There are much more than nineteen thousand of these firearms.

The 3D2A community is one who’s growth has been exponentially growing each year for the last eight years.

There are even shooting competitions where is exclusively 3D2A.

The ability to print a functioning firearm is here. Depending upon the cartridge and design is what dictates how much of the firearm can be printed.
AR platforms for both upper and lower can be printed, as well as other platforms, either rifle or pistol.
