The judicial legislation modifying the Constitution and incorporating the Bill of Rights against the states has not yet been applied to the Second Amendment.

Why is it necessary for a right protected from federal interference by the BOR to be "incorporated" into the 14th Amendment in order for it to be enforced against the states and local governments? The 14th Amendment clearly and unequivocally states that the states must provide "equal protection under the law" to all people within their jurisdiction, so why is "incorporation" of the 2nd necessary in order for the RKBA to be protected by the states instead of being violated by the states as so many now do?

Indeed so. If a state required Black men to register machine guns while exempting White men, that would violate equal protection.
