About this book
After Griffin Dix's 15-year-old son, Kenzo, is killed in a gun "accident" by a close friend, Griffin learns that the gun lacked safety features that could have prevented his son's death. A brilliant Brady Center lawyer helps him and his wife sue Beretta USA, leading to courtroom battles between a major gun violence prevention organization and leaders of the gun industry, who argue over the causes of Kenzo's death. This gripping account exposes how the gun industry markets guns designed for the military and police to untrained civilians, too often with tragic results. But the book is not just another "gun control" diatribe. It gives full voice to both sides of a fascinating American debate that has implications for the safety of American families.
Griffin's deeply personal narrative ends with hope. It tells how he joins a California coalition to pass state laws to reduce unsafe gun storage and to establish handgun safety standards that force the gun industry to sell safer handguns. These laws help dramatically reduce unintentional gun deaths in California and the rest of the country when the safer handguns are sold nationwide.
