We have quotes from the framers of the Constitution and the Amendments that clearly show that the BoR was not meant to apply to the states. If they f.ex. wanted the right to trial by jury to apply to the states they would accept the additional amendment proposed by Madison. If they wanted the RKBA to apply to the states they would explicitly say so. Read the Introduction to BoR written by Madison.

You mean like this one?

Art 6. Para 2.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Game. Set. Match.
