Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin is co-leading a coalition of 20 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in support of the federal government’s request for review of a lower court decision invalidating commonsense “ghost gun” regulations – regulations that are already showing every indication that they are working as intended to get these deadly weapons off New Jersey streets.
The Final Rule, issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), clarifies that the definitions in the federal Gun Control Act regulate ghost guns in the same way as conventional guns. Ghost guns are weapons without serial numbers that are often made at home from kits or partially complete frames and receivers, which can be purchased without background checks. These weapons, which are untraceable, have been illegal in New Jersey since 2018.
