"if faced with the issue, would likely incorporate the Second Amendment to the States"

And until then, it only applies to the federal government. Which is what I said.

Hello? Anyone able to read out there? Hello?

I think you need to explain why the supremacy clause does not pertain to the BOR. Is the constitution and the supremacy clause not part of the "LAW OF THE LAND"?
Is the jurisdiction of the constitution then Washington D.C. only?
Where is federal jurisdiction if not over the states in the limitied manner specifically enumerated by the constitutiona and BOR?

Wrong. Until then it is undecided, in the absence of any decision rejecting incorporation. The premise of common law is that an issue of first impression does not change the law, it merely recognizes it.
