Neither Husky nor Up North Media is a federally licensed firearms dealer, the suit states. Instead, the companies provide what the suit describes as “easy-to assemble, almost-complete, all-parts-included kits” for building “ghost guns,” which do not have a serial number and are sold without a background check.

“Henry only needed to drill out two holes, insert screws, remove five plastic tabs, and assemble the weapon in order to have a fully operable Glock 19-style handgun,” the lawsuit states. “Instructions for how to build the Kit were readily available to him online—including on the website of Husky Armory’s affiliate, 3D Gun Builder.”

A press release states that “the Kit included a nearly finished Polymer80 Glock-style frame — the same type at the heart of the recent United States Supreme Court ruling in Bondi v. VanDerStok, which affirmed that such Kits are firearms under federal law and must comply with all federal gun sale requirements, including background checks and sales through licensed dealers.”
