Waymo Robotaxi Stops After Loaded Ghost Gun Detected
x/waymo
— 1d
Two minors in a Waymo autonomous vehicle in San Francisco were detained after Waymo detected a firearm, prompting a high-risk stop that led to the recovery of a loaded AR-style ghost gun along with suspected marijuana and mace spray, and the youths were booked on illegal firearm possession. Waymo says it cooperated with police and notes this is not the first incident involving underage riders, with a prior July case in San Mateo where teens were found with alcohol and shooting objects from a car, and the investigation into the SF incident is ongoing.

Federal court strikes down ATF ghost gun rule
x/supreme-court-of-the-united-states
— Aug 18, 2026
A Texas federal judge again struck down the ATF’s 2022 ghost gun rule as unconstitutional and too vague, ruling on Second and Fifth Amendment grounds and signaling ongoing appeals in a high-profile gun-regulation fight.
