A divided Supreme Court today sided with the biden administrations crackdown on socalled ghost guns, or firearms without serial numbers. Cbss ed okeefe reports on the significance of this ruling as the use of these untraceable guns rises. Reporter police nationwide say ghost guns are a big reason why Violent Crimes have spiked. Ghost guns can be bought online, some made with a 3d printer, and most dont carry serial numbers, making them harder to track. Today the Supreme Court with conservative justices john roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joining the three liberals in the majority, allowed the regulations to stay in place while legal challenges continue. Te new rules were first introduced last summer in response to the growing wave of Violent Crime and seek to treat ghost guns like other firearms. It simply treats them as firearms under the gun control act where a person has to appear in person, present identification, and pass a background check. Reporter thomas chit ham is the former number two at the atf and helped draft the regulations. Increasingly what weve seen is that criminals turn to the internet, order these kits from the comfort of their home, assemble them, and have a firearm ha is not easily detect bid law enforcement. Reporter atf figures show the number of ghost guns rcovered more than doubled from 2020 to 2021. Police say its led to Violent Crime like this incident in new york last month, when a 25yearold man on a scooter allegedly shot up six locations across the city using a ghost gun. Opponents to the new regulations argue in federal court atf doesnt have the Legal Authority to change gun laws on its own. The case could drag on for years. The white house says it will continue to use every tool available to stop gun violence in our country. Ed okeefe, thank you very much.

We begin tonight with new details on that violent riverfront dock brawl in montgomery, alabama, that went viral and therefore has drawn nationwide attention. Police say arrest warrants have been issued for three individuals on Assault Charges. This after a simple disagreement turned into a massive fight involving more than a dozen people. Videos of this incident blew up on social media after a black boat captain was assaulted by a group of white men. Many social media commentators noted the racial makeup of the alleged attackers, but police said today the fight did not fit the criteria of a hate crime. Cbss Omar Villafranca will start us off tonight from montgomery. Omar, good evening. Reporter good evening. This is the boat that was trying to dock but was blocked for more than 40 minutes, which led to what many people are calling the melee in montgomery. A viral boat side brawl that was all hands on deck. Get out of the way Reporter Video taken by eyewitnesses show damien pickett, cocaptain of a large riverboat, asking a group to move their pontoon so the riverboat could dock in its assigned space. They refused and attacked pickett, wrestling him to the ground while punching and kicking him. Picketts coworkers and others rushed to his aid, including 16yearold aaron rudolph, who jumped into the water and swam to help. Once the riverboat docked, the fight escalated. One woman was pushed into the river. This man uses a folding chair as a weapon and hits this woman. Multiple people recorded the brawl, including krista owen. I just wanted to make sure that the police knew when it came to the end who threw the first punches. Reporter today, authorities have charged three white men with thirddegree assault and are looking to question the man who was wielding the chair. We did examine if there was enough to file hate crime charges on this case, and weve also looked at what it takes to elevate this to a riot. We worked with our local district attorney, and it didnt fit the criteria for that. Reporter montgomerys first black mayor, steven reed, says his city shouldnt be marred by this latest incident. This is not indicative of who we are, so i think its important for us to address this as an isolated incident, one that was avoidable.
