If it wasn't a 5 to 4 court, Heller would be cursed by us now and the bans would be seen as quite constitutional. McDonald would have not occurred.
From what I've read SCOTUS justices are best predicted by their politics and they use precedent to justify it. Yes, sometimes there are suprises but I don't think a couple more of Sotomayor's would have given us three cheers for the RKBA.
