After son's fatal accident, father fights to make weapons safer [View all]

Kenzo Dix rests at the top of a beautiful hill overlooking the San Francisco Bay. As the sun falls, the scene is tranquil.

It’s a late summer evening, and his father has come to visit, bearing flowers and words that are spoken only in his heart. It’s been a few months since Griffin Dix was last here, and he takes time to wipe the blades of grass and dirt from his son’s flat grave marker.

Nearly 20 years ago, Kenzo, a freshman at Berkeley High School in northern California, was buried here at Sunset Memorial Garden, the victim of a gun accident. His father lives in Kensington, within walking distance of the graveyard, but his visits have become less frequent over the years.

“We loved Kenzo very, very much,” Dix said.
