I went ahead and replied in this thread but I am unsure as to why the initiator didn't just append his opening post to Dave Webers thread above?
IMO: It would be a good idea to call David Kopel up as a live witness in the Congressional hearings. I will email my Senators and recommend just that.

Update:
I just sent the following email to both of the Arizona Senators. I encourage all of you to do the same in your own States.
Senator :
Now that the Feinstein hearings are being held in regards to gun control; I want to go on record in opposition to any bill reinstating the failed "assault weapons ban". This is an attack on the symptoms and not the problems. Please urge your collegues to support mental heath reform to get mentaly ill people off the streets. I also believe it's a good idea to provide armed security guards for all our schools. "Gun Free Zones" have made these schools attractive targets for mentally deranged individuals like the Newtown murderer. If armed security is good enough for President Obama's children it ought to be essential for the State of Arizona's residents children.
Sincerely Jim XXXXXXX
