A Kentucky mother, Laura Herp, files a lawsuit against Nebraska-based Husky Armory and its parent company, alleging they illegally enabled her son to obtain a ghost gun kit. Her son, 18-year-old Henry Willis, purchased the kit online just days before his suicide, despite being prohibited from gun ownership due to legal and mental health issues.
