More ATF Overreach Before the Supreme Court in Garland v. VanDerStok

IS THE LEFT ABOUT TO LOSE THEIR MINDS OVER THIS RULING?
The October 2024 term of the Supreme Court is about to begin, and the second day of oral argument, October 8, will feature an important administrative law question arising from gun regulation—here the federal regulation of so called “ghost guns.” In Garland v. VanDerStok, once again, a federal agency with an extravagant view of its power has tried to resolve a policy debate that belongs to Congress, and once again it finds itself before the high court.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA) attaches background checks, serialization requirements, and other federal requirements to “firearms,” defined by statute as “(A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive,” in addition to “(B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon.”
Soon after the GCA was enacted, the predecessor agency to ATF defined“frame or receiver” as “[t]hat part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.”
