I note that you are silent about the court cases provided that show the 14th Amendment was not intended to apply the Bill of Rights to the states.

Amendments 2 through 10 always were meant to apply to the States since there is no mention of Congress being prohibited from the actions mentioned in those amendments.

I find it odd that you think States can enact any gun laws they want since the 2nd "Wasn't meant to apply to the States". Oh, wait, its just that the FIRST wasn't meant to apply to the States, right? That opens up an entirely different can of worms considering that States could ban whatever print they wish.

The 14th does contain a limitation in its own text. But, it it not to the extent that courts today rule it is.
