Incorperation myth again huh? Try reading the Constitution sometime.
The Second got all the incorperation it needed when it was ratified.

"The Second got all the incorperation it needed when it was ratified."
I agree. Unlike the 1st Amendment, the 2nd doesn't start with, "Congress shall make no law..."; it states quite simply that "...the right of the people...shall not be infringed." And, of course, none of the other nine amendments that make up the Bill of Rights deals with group rights, only those of the people, the individual citizens. Governments, per the 10th Amendment, are said to have (or NOT have) powers, not rights. And power flows (or once did) from the people.
