Nice unbiased "panel".

Who is going? We need people there with knowledge of up-to-date FBI and ATF stats.

76% of gun thefts are reported as losses from dealer inventories.

We need to ask "How many criminals who've committed murders or other crimes with guns had valid gun permits?"

"Why are weapons charges frequently dropped when illegal firearms are used in the commission of a crime?"

Etc, etc.

Who is going to this? This is the first I've heard of this.
