The 2nd Amendment established an immunity to federal infringement of the right to keep and bear arms.

Please cite, from the Constitution, where such a limitation exists.

Shall not be infringed is the Supreme Law of the Land, the laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

It doesn't require a judge to incorporate this as there is no "incorporation" requirement listed anywhere in the Constitution. It applies upon ratification, just like the laws Congress passes.

Beg, beg, beg.

"The first amendment to the Constitution prohibits Congress from abridging 'the right of the people to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.' This, like the other amendments proposed and adopted at the same time, was not intended to limit the powers of the State governments in respect to their own citizens, but to operate upon the National government alone." -U.S. v. Cruickshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)

Poor you.
