I just thought of something. As far as I'm aware, the Supreme Court has never "incorporated" the 2nd Amendment though the 14th Amendment, which means that at this moment, the 2nd Amendment does not apply to states and municipalities.

Correct --- which makes 2nd Amendment jurisprudence at the state level an interesting quandry for conservatives. On one hand, they generally think greater access to firearms is a good thing. On the other, they hate the incorporation doctrine and don't think the feds should be sticking their noses into the various state laws...
