Ghost Guns: A Legal Battle Shaping U.S. Firearms Policy

Angellyh Yambo's tragic death due to an untraceable ghost gun has sparked legal battles and policy debates. Her mother, Yanely Henriquez, is pursuing justice through a civil lawsuit and supports regulatory measures against ghost guns. The case has reached the U.S. Supreme Court, addressing broader implications for firearms regulation.

On a somber April afternoon in 2022, Angellyh Yambo, a 16-year-old with aspirations in forensics, became a tragic victim of gun violence in the Bronx. An untraceable ghost gun ended her life, sparking debates on firearm regulation.

The shooting weapon lacked a serial number, complicating the investigation, and spotlighting ghost guns, which are easily assembled and difficult to trace. This incident has reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where the Biden administration defends regulations requiring serial numbers and background checks for firearm kits.

Yambo's mother, Yanely Henriquez, is fighting for justice. Filing a lawsuit against a kit manufacturer, she stands firm in her quest for accountability. The outcome of this case could significantly impact U.S. gun policy amidst rising concerns over ghost gun-related crimes.
