In a March 26, 2025 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court (Court) decided in Bondi v. VanDerStok that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has the authority to regulate ghost guns as it does other firearms. Ghost guns are homemade guns assembled from kits purchased online and used by teenagers in some cases.
With regard to vapes, an April 2, 2025 Court ruling upheld the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision to deny approval for kid-friendly flavored e-cigarettes and limit the flavors available on the market.
