Note that they did so without incorporating the second amendment though. Since D.C. is a federal district, there was no need to incorporate because the bill of rights applies directly-- as opposed to via the 14th amendment for state laws.

Yes. But you have to agree the language used in section IV of the opinion is great dicta for a future incorporation argument, when the case arises. Also, the language virtually equating the rights conferred by the Second Amendment with that of the First is great stuff.

I absolutely agree that the dicta from this decision is great for future incorporation. It's so great to see gun control stuck down and I'm excited at the prospect of seeing more in the future.
