Jury awards more than $104M in lawsuit over ghost gun used in Louisville teen's death by suicide

Louisville mother Laura Herp sued online đź‘»gun seller Husky Armory and its parent company after her 18-year-old son, Henry Willis, died by suicide three years ago.

Not to minimize the tragic story, but the CLEARLY biased and INTENTIONALLY deceptive reporting bugs the shit out of me:

According to the lawsuit, Willis received an 80% build kit, meaning it was 80% assembled with 100% of the parts included.


A couple screws later, Willis had a fully operable pistol. The family's attorney said Husky sold the kit online without checking his age or criminal record. Both checks would've disqualified him. All Willis had to do was check a box saying he was 21.

BULLSHIT! It was not "80% assembled." It was 0% assembled. The frame was 80% unfinished.

And not to be pedantic (I am!), but when it comes to reporting facts (and court testimony) the FACTS matter. There are ZERO screws involved.

My guess that this will bankrupt Husky and the family will get pennies if anything at all. They ain't getting $104M. Ever. And the lawyers knew this. So, that raises the rhetorical question... Why the lawsuit? To put these companies out of business. It's a simple as that. They can't legislate them away. So, they resort to lawfare.

Ah, and the son had a criminal record, eh? By age 18, eh? Sounds like he had a lot of issues. What role did the parents play? Did they get him professional help? Did they not hear tools being used? Finishing a frame is a noisy affair. Where did he get the ammo? Did they sue the ammo source?

Some of us here did business with Husky Armory. And the owner even paid us a visit:


I just tried... Husky Armory website is offline.

Yep, law-fare through civil suits. Just goes to show you why we need tort reform. All bets are off when it comes to civil cases.
 
I hate the way these articles are always written, twisting facts to get an emotional response from the reader. How many of you have built one of these firearms? What does 80% assembled mean? Only a couple of screws to finish? Come on.

Exactly my point. It's NOT difficult to get the facts straight. And that's why I KNOW it's not about facts. It's using ANY tragedy as an OPPORTUNITY to leverage an agenda based on FALLACIES.

None of my kits came with screws! Where are my screws?!?? I want a FULL refund! I can't screw my guns together, dammit!
