There is an ambiguity about your question. It arises from the court finding neither a federal nor incorporated RKBA.

If there is simply no incorporated state RKBA then there is no change from what we have now- the states are left alone. But if there is also not a federal RKBA (which is a likely outcome) then the states can be legislatively forced by the congress into surrendering the protections in their own laws- as by the examples I gave earlier.

I agree that the incorporation of no state RKBA would not affect things by itself. It would just further show the capriciousness and historical illegitimacy of the court's 14th Amendment doctrine.

Save me from looking through 441 posts -- Which examples or what post?

Ken H and I have been going back and forth on this.
