guns

Police say the suspect had a ghost gun, possibly made with a 3D printer, when he was arrested on Monday. Here's what to know about the increasingly widespread weapons and efforts to regulate them.

At issue was a Hawaii State Supreme Court decision that allowed the state to prosecute a man carrying a loaded pistol without a license.

The government contends that ghost guns kits count as a firearm under a 1968 law. But those challenging the rule contend "a kit of parts is not a weapon."

For the most part, the justices still try to portray the court as amicable, but you don’t have to be a genius to see that they are not exactly happy campers.

Vice President Harris cited the fact she was a gun owner in Tuesday night's presidential debate, in a move designed to shut down suggestions from former President Donald Trump that she wants to “confiscate your guns.”

The law, which was passed after the Sandy Hook school shooting, bans dozens of firearms — including AR-15s, AK-47s and the Barrett .50-caliber sniper rifle — and puts a 10-round limit on magazines.

On military bases from Virginia to the Middle East, pistols made by New Hampshire-based Sig Sauer have allegedly fired without a trigger pull, seriously wounding soldiers in some instances.

The decision was the first major gun ruling since 2022, when the high court broke sharply with the way gun laws had previously been handled by the courts.

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned a federal ban on the devices, which could have wider implications for what qualifies as a machine gun.

The Supreme Court will be issuing major rulings in the next month. Normally by this point in the term there are between four and six really big cases left. This year, there are over a dozen.
