Supreme Court of the United States

Bondi v. Vanderstok

March 26, 2025604 U.S. 458

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the ATF's 2022 regulations covering weapon parts kits and partially complete frames or receivers are facially consistent with the Gun Control Act of 1968, reversing the Fifth Circuit and remanding for further proceedings; the Court also noted that the rule of lenity and constitutional avoidance do not apply and that the facial‑challenge analysis proceeds under the Salerno framework.
