Summary
The legal fight over "ghost guns" in the U.S. continues, even after the Supreme Court upheld a rule requiring background checks and serial numbers for certain firearm kits. These kits can be used to build working guns and have previously avoided regulation, raising concerns among law enforcement. However, gun rights groups are still challenging these rules and seeking further legal changes.
