On Tuesday, Oct. 8, the court will hear arguments on a case concerning the regulation of “ghost guns.” Manufacturers and gun rights groups argue the Biden administration overstepped its authority to require background checks on these types of firearm kits. 

Later in their term, the justices will weigh in on Tennessee’s law that restricts puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors. The high court will also take on the case of a Texas law requiring age verification for pornographic websites

The new term runs until next summer.
