You, and the courts, are
wrong.
The BoR is broad, pertains to Individual Rights, and needs no incorporation. The very idea would be laughable if it weren't for the fact that so many self described "Constitutional scholars" by into such a delusion.

Take that argument to the Supreme Court and see how far you get.
The first step in changing that which you find repugnant is to admit the current state of affairs. Only then can you engage in any meaningful attempt to construct an argument sounding in the original documents to persuade the Supremes.
Petulant repetition of that which you believe to be true, without any support whatsoever, will get you nowhere.

From your linked article....... "....The Militia shall be under the government of the laws of the respective States, when not in the actual Service of the united States, but Such rules as may be prescribed by Congress for their uniform organisation & discipline shall be observed in officering and training them. but military Service Shall not be required of persons religiously Scrupulous of bearing arms...."
Seems to add further credence to the states rights view of regulating the militia.......and that 2nd Amendment merely proscribes federal intervention in the right to keep and bear......
