All justices, except for Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, voted to maintain these regulations, which require that ghost gun kits include serial numbers and that background checks be conducted for buyers. Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing the majority opinion, highlighted the ease with which such firearms can be made. <\/p>\n<p>Justice Thomas criticized the ruling, arguing that it represents government overreach and that Congress had not authorized such extensive regulation of firearms.The Firearms Policy Coalition expressed disappointment with the decision,framing it as part of a broader struggle over gun rights. The ruling is perceived as unfavorable for gun owners, as it could set a precedent that restricts access to firearms for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-sheriffs-tell-newsom-they-wont-enforce-covid-curfew\/\" title=\"California Sheriffs Tell Newsom They Won&#039;t Enforce COVID Curfew\">law-abiding citizens<\/a>, despite concerns over misuse of new technologies. <\/p>\n<p>Critics suggest that while the left uses terms like &#8220;ghost gun&#8221; to instill fear, the reality is that the rights of responsible citizens should not be curtailed due to the actions of a few.
