The 14th Amendment has been held to extend the fundamental rights of the Bill of Rights to the states. The question is: Is possessing a handgun a fundamental right.

This arguement goes against the modern trend of incorporation. I find it hard to believe now that the Court has crossed the line of saying that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right that they will not make the final step and incorporate it against states as well.
