If it's editorializing on the assault weapons ban, you'll want to address that issue specifically. A lot of people don't consider banning assault weapons to outrageous, because they don't understand what they are banning. They need that explained to them, and put in context.

If not, some of the amicus briefs have some good coverage on the history that can be included in there for further historical context. http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/amicus-briefs-for-heller-available-in-guns-case/ I can't remember which one, but it dealt extensively with the racist nature of early gun laws, something that wouldn't hurt to be reinforced from time to time.

Would they not have to be accommodated in some way? I honestly don't know, but at a glance it would seem to me taking that route might work. Pick someone with poor eyesight, and you have that issue.
