"Suppose USSC incorporates and rules that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual RKBA."

Your question ignores the effect of the unfavorable ruling on the federal RKBA- which would accompany an incorporation without state RKBA.
In which case I agree with your assertions.

Or it includes the denial of the federal RKBA- in which case I disagree.

So do I agree or disagree?

Here's my position:

I deliberately chose the worst case scenario for the Scond Amendment to illustrate that incorporation has no downside to an individual RKBA in the US.

If USSC incorporates the Second Amendment and says it does not guarantee an individual RKBA, I would take that as USSC's definition of the Second Amendment for both State and Federal.

I can't see why they would say it means one thing for States and another for the Federal.
