Supreme Court to hear disputes over ghost guns, veteran disabilities, pollution during new term<\/a><\/p>\n

The Supreme Court will return from its summer recess in October and hear legal battles involving ghost guns, veteran disability claims and water pollution in the justices\u2019 first sitting of the new term.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the court released its October calendar, which includes four notable disputes:<\/p>\n

Ghost guns<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Oct. 8, the justices will take up a dispute over ghost guns \u2014 firearms that can be assembled and lack serial numbers. It will be the second day for the\u00a0justices\u00a0after they return from a three-month recess to kick off the 2024-25 term.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration asked the justices to review a case in which a federal appeals court struck down a regulation governing the sale of kits to make ghost guns, saying it stretched the definition of \u201cfirearm\u201d found in the Gun Control Act of 1968.<\/p>\n

Justice Department lawyers say ghost guns have turned into an end-run around federal gun control laws, allowing \u201canyone with access to the internet to anonymously buy a parts kit or partially complete frame or receiver that can be assembled into a working firearm in as little as 20 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gun rights advocates say if the government wants to regulate the sale of ghost guns, it must pass a new law, arguing the feds can\u2019t stretch the 1968 legislation that far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
