Your RKBA is defined and protected by your state constitution. The second amendment protects that right from being infringed by the federal government.

I never said the second amendment was a "lame notion". However, in all of our nation's history, no one (that is no one) has successfully appealed a state RKBA infingement using the second amendment.

Name a case, post 14th amendment, where the U.S. Supreme Court actually heard the case and ruled that the second amendment did not protect the RKBA against state government infringement AND that are still "good law". Presser comes to mind, but that one ruled that the first right to free assembly and petition (other than to Congress) is also not protected, and for the same reason. That is no longer "good law".

I wasn't quoting you directly, or I would have used quotation marks.

You implied the right to keep and bear arms, more honored in its breach, and effectively, made a privilege, because it's never been incorporated by a specific SCOTUS decision.
