TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Gun control legislation: Valid and necessary JO - Journal on firearms and public policy A1 - Mosk, S SP - 135 EP - 163 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - The need for meaningful gun control legislation is so evident that it seems to me, the burden shifts to the opponents to explain their intransigence. In meeting that burden, the negative adopts this position: the salutary effect of gun legislation on crime control and the possible reduction in violent deaths are outweighed by the inconvenience of registration imposed upon lawful possessors of guns. When their views are stripped of all obscurantism, opponents of controls see the conflict as between lives and inconvenience, and they insist avoiding the latter is more important than saving the former.
