If President Trump chooses a pro-2nd Amendment judge to SCOTUS that'd be great. However, would that judge have to recuse themselves from a 2nd Amendment case if it came to be heard by SCOTUS and they had been the judge that had ruled on that case when they were a judge in a lower court? If they had to recuse themselves, that could tip the case in the favor of anti-gun judges.
Take the case of the judge below.

Colorado judge on Trump's short list for Supreme Court wrote key gun-rights ruling
Denver Business Journal , KUSA 3:36 PM. MST November 14, 2016
Over the weekend, president-elect Donald Trump said he would appoint a U.S. Supreme Court Justice who is a strong supporter of Second Amendment gun rights and who seeks to overturn the Roe vs. Wade decision recognizing a right to abortion.
Among the judges he may be considering is Colorado Supreme Court Justice Allison H. Eid, who in 2012 wrote the unanimous opinion striking down a ban on licensed concealed handguns at the University of Colorado Denver.
