Gun-Rights Group Asks Judge To Stick With Ruling That Tossed ‘Ghost Gun’ Ban
The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has asked a Delaware federal judge to reject the state’s request to reconsider a ruling that struck down its ban on unfinished gun frames and receivers. The dispute concerns whether restrictions on so-called “ghost guns” violate the Second Amendment, including the right to make firearms for personal use.
Judge Maryellen Noreika ruled in September that unfinished frames and receivers count as protected “arms”. Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings argued that the decision was mistaken and that serialization rules impose only an incidental burden. FPC says a later statutory change did not fix the constitutional issues and that the plaintiffs cannot recover firearms and components they surrendered. The article also notes other recent court challenges to federal and state rules, alongside a 2025 Supreme Court decision that upheld federal regulations.
In short
- FPC urges the judge to keep her ruling against Delaware’s ban.
- The case concerns unfinished frames, receivers and the Second Amendment.
- Delaware says serialization rules impose only an incidental burden.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Supporters of the ban argue that unfinished frames and receivers can be used to make firearms that evade ordinary tracing, so restrictions and serialization rules help law enforcement investigate gun crime and promote public safety. They may view those rules as limited requirements that leave lawful firearm ownership intact, rather than a substantial interference with Second Amendment rights.
The case against
Opponents argue that making firearms for personal use is part of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and that unfinished frames and receivers should receive the same protection as other firearm components. They contend that bans and serialization requirements burden lawful owners without sufficient justification, and that surrendering the components causes a lasting loss even if the rules later change.
