“Can anyone now think of a reason why a number of Supreme Court Justices are not now liable for impeachment for a breach of their oath of office with regard to the Constitution and its Second Amendment mandate a citizen has the right to keep and bear arms?”

The Republican House can vote articles of impeachment on any federal judge at any time it wishes. The absence of any effort to impeach indicates agreement with the decisions.

Not necessarily. There is a long-standing practice in Congress to not proceed with an action until and unless it is calculated there are enough votes available to approve the motion. In the case of impeachments, the Congressmen in the House of Representatives are reluctant to act on impeachments which it is believed the Democrats in the Senate will vote to defeat. I disagree with worrying about losing the vote in the Senate, but they are the elected representatives.
