Had a thought on the title 18 suit. Before you can sue under this title one must be deprived of their rights. Since the lower federal courts do not recognize the 2nd as an individual right (except for 5th district of Texas) we would not be able to bring suit in those districts.... but since we do have such a ruling (individual) in the 5th district of Texas, we can bring the title 18 suit there......

This may also give the SC another reason to hear Emerson. Just a thought.
