by Judge Mirando Du was not convinced FPC’s challenge to Nevada’s “ghost gun” ban.
A federal judge for the District of Nevada ruled this week against a gun-rights group that had filed a lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on so-called “ghost guns.”

The Firearms Policy Coalition sued the state in June of this year following the passage of Assembly Bill 286, which bans the purchase, possession, manufacture, or reception of an “unfinished frame or receiver.” The FPC argued that the law violates both the Second Amendment and the Constitution’s Takings Clause because it amounts to a “confiscatory ban.”

Obama-appointee District Judge Mirando Du rejected both elements of the FPC suit. She argued that because Nevada residents can purchase serialized firearms, and they have the opportunity to sell their now-banned receivers, the bill does not violate either the Second or Fifth Amendments.
