This would include terror watch list prohibitions or background checks at gun shows. And also include any 5-4 court decisions in do our of restrictions.

An example of one of the more recent court cases where having a different judge would have made a difference is this one:

I'll take a wager that Clinton, as president, makes any constitutional restrictions on guns in any way. That is what is being discussed. Executive orders not withstanding, as they are questionable as to their constitutionality, the president has no power to make any changes to law. That is not his role. Second, the president cannot just appoint a judge cart blanche. They must go through the confirmation process. The 2nd amendment is untouchable, even by the most liberal judges. That won't change.
