The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that Assembly Bill 286, which bans unserialized firearms (ghost guns), is constitutional. The court found the definition of an "unfinished frame or receiver" in NRS 2022539 to be sufficiently clear and not unconstitutionally vague, reversing a lower court's injunction. This decision means the law is now in effect, prohibiting the possession, sale, and manufacturing of unserialized firearms and unfinished frames or receivers without serial numbers. The ruling also clarified that prosecution requires proof of the defendant's knowledge of the object's characteristics and intent to use it as a firearm component, establishing it as a general intent statute.
