Sorry but the Court ruled early on that the BoR didn't apply to the states. My reading of them is like yours but the USSC did not agree in 1833 (I think.) Certainly blacks were not allowed to arm without their owners consent in the South.

The courts ruled a lot of things that proved to be wrong. Like CFR. But I would be interested to know the case that ruled that the Bill of Rights did not apply to the states.
