Arguably, the Several States have more right to control freedom of speech and religion (CONGRESS shall make no law...) than they do RKBA. The 2nd Amendment doesn’t say a damn thing about Congress. IT does say someth the about the Right of the People, though.

With the 14th Amendment, the First Amendment is supposed “incorporated.” That is, it applies to the Several States as well as the Federales. So why isn’t the Second Amendment incorporated, too?

The unconstitutional “Incorporation Doctrine” has been weighed and found wanting and counterfeit. The 14A was a post-Civil-War Reconstruction amendment limited to making ex-slaves full citizens. There is NO evidence the ratifiers intended to give the feds the sweeping powers the proponents of the “Incorporation Doctrine” claim.

The “Incorporation Doctrine” has lead to the parade of horribles I listed. The feds in this regard are unconstitutional and an unconstitutional federal government is not your friend, it is your enemy and the enemy of your freedom and MUST be resisted at every level in every way.
