When does a gun become a gun? That might sound like a philosophical question, but it’s one the U.S. Supreme Court will answer next year.
The court recently heard oral arguments in Garland vs. VanDerStok, a case about a federal rule classifying gun kits as firearms.
These kits were initially sold without serial numbers or background checks, something the government says led to a spike in ghost gun crimes.
All Sides is deep diving into the ghost gun case and how it would impact Ohio.
Guests:
- Justin Jouvenal, Supreme Court reporter, The Washington Post
- Bridget Dooling, Ohio State law professor
- Brian Steel, president, Fraternal Order of Police Cap City Lodge #9
