"bring over" = incorporate
The Constitution and Bill of Rights applied only to the Federal government prior to the passage of the 14th Amendment in 1868. Although the Supreme Court has held that the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment may limit action by state and local governments, they have rejected the notion that the 14th Amendment incorporates the entire Bill of Rights.
Today, only three provisions of the Bill of Rights, including the 2nd, 5th and 7th Amendments, remain unincorporated.

The right of California to ban guns says nothing about my position on the issue.

So the south claimed, refuted by the supermacy clause of Art VI. The 14th was passed, in part, to resolve that issue.

'Incorporation', in my opinion, is just a shysters dodge, used to gain more power to the 'justice' system.

It says it all. You do not support our inalienable RKBA's, if you believe states have the 'right' to ban them. The NRA should revoke your membership, imo.
