Federal Appeals Court Dismisses 'Ghost Guns' Challenge by California and Giffords

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has thrown out a lawsuit filed by California and the Giffords gun control advocacy group. The suit contended that a Biden administration-era rule aimed at curbing untraceable 'ghost guns' was not sufficiently strict. The appeals court reversed a lower court's decision, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate harm caused by the rule's approach to partially completed firearm receivers.
