I don't see the judge being impeached anytime soon for failure to support gun rights. The politics work against that happening.

But can't the court of appeals pull the case at some point and issue their own ruling?

It seems that remanding and instructing was too deferential for this district court. I predict that whatever the district court does, if anything, will be grossly insufficient; there will be another appeal and this time '7th' will take the bull the horns and resolve this themselves.

If I'm right, and there is another appeal, it will be quite clear to the 7th circuit court that no relief from injury is going to be available to the plaintiffs in district court.

It is stunning to me that there was no injunction immediately issued.
