Murphy Statement On Supreme Court Ruling To Uphold Ghost Gun Rule

WASHINGTON–U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)on Wednesday released the following statement after the Supreme Court upheld the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rule to rein in the proliferation of ghost guns in a 7-2 decision:
"Today’s ruling is a major defeat for the gun lobby and a big win for the movement to stop gun violence. No matter what the gun lobby says, ghost guns are guns. They're easy to get and practically untraceable, which is why dangerous criminals love them. Requiring serial numbers and background checks for ghost guns makes our communities safer, and I’ll be pushing the Trump administration to make sure this rule is enforced.”
