Three Pending Supreme Court Rulings That May Change America
Supreme Court term begins on Monday, October 7. With it comes major cases that will help define life in the United States, from gun control to online pornography.Here are the major cases the court will be considering this term:If a gun comes in separate pieces that you must assemble yourself, are you being sold a gun or gun parts? If it's the latter, then why should the buyer have to comply with gun registration and other paperwork?That's the question the Supreme Court will have to consider when it hears oral arguments on its second day of term.On October 8, the court will hear oral arguments in Garland v. VanDerStok, a challenge to a regulation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that places new requirements on previously untraceable "ghost guns" assembled by the buyer.The untraceable gun parts are typically purchased online, and their use has surged in recent years.The ATF rule, introduced in April 2022, amends the definition of a firearm to include self-assembly kits.
