.Basically, how bad would it be if SCOTUS ruled against Incorporation for the 2nd Amendment?



In reality, most states protect the 2nd Amendment in their own state constitutions, right?
.

1. Very.

2. Yeah, but see how well that's worked out in, say, Hawaii?

1) Basically except for some very limited cases, the Second Amendment would cease to exist

B) Subject to change and/or being ignored by that state

The Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms does not exist because of the Second Amendment, and would continue to exist were the Second Amendment repealed.

Unfortunately, the history shows that periods in which a government's understanding of what their individual citizen's rights are were at significant disconnect from what those rights actually aren't necessarily pleasant to live through.

Very little would change automatically. I believe that only the 9th Cir. applies the 2nd Amendment to the states at the moment, and that's a recent development. Gun control would remain largely a state by state issue.

Yes, most states have their own version of the 2nd Amendment. (MN does not) The effectiveness of those provisions varies on the whims of those states' supreme court.
