I do not think it has been a lack of 2A supporting Justices at the Supreme Court. Rather, the Supreme Court is very picky about which Petitions it chooses to hear from non-government parties.
IMHO, the Supreme Court has been waiting for the proper right to carry permit case. The one out of Washington DC would have been a good one, but the Pro Right to Carry party prevailed at the DC Court of Appeals, and at the urging of anti right to carry states the District chose not to appeal to the Supreme Court for fear that the right to carry would be imposed on all 50 states.
