Maybe you could re-think your reply. There’s nothing in the 2nd that would allow any state to roll back gun rights, with or without “incorporation”. Incorporation has been used far more often to usurp the powers of the individual states as a means of federal coercion than to insure that our legitimate rights aren’t violated.

I was responding to a post by PapaNew.

“The feds would have no pretended authority over anything mentioned in the first ten amendments including marriage.”

That would mean states could pass just about any gun control law, as they cheerfully did throughout the 19th century.

Either the Bill of Rights doesn’t apply to the states or it does. Or possibly some do and some don’t, as we presently have.
