This does lead to two questions. Can the RKBA be declared an individual right, but not a fundamental individual right? If the U.S. Supreme Court finds that the RKBA is a fundamental individual right, must the states also protect it (ie., incorporation)?
I don't see why not, but then, I don't see why the 5th amendment clause you mentioned shouldn't be incorporated.

"I don't see why not" So, in your opinion, the RKBA in the second amendment can be declared an individual right, but not declared a fundamental individual right?
If that's the case, then the strict scrutiny test cannot be used; at least the way I read it.
