## Resource

An 18-year-old Kentucky teen died by suicide after assembling a gun from a Husky Armory LLC kit he bought online — and now his family has won a staggering $100 million settlement, the largest ever against a gun seller. The company allegedly ignored federal rules by selling the kit to a minor, advertised it as “nearly anyone with a brain” could build, and even skipped trial. The jury awarded $4.2 million in damages plus $100 million in punitive damages — a landmark verdict aimed at holding gun companies accountable in a tragic intersection of mental health, commerce, and tragedy.
