Without, hopefully, getting too far off track, the Second Amendment hasn't stopped the federal government from infringing on the right to keep and bear arms and I doubt the states would be any less successful. Incorporation, however, would probably curtail some of the more egregious infringements that states practice, depending, of course, on the make-up of the USSC at the time.
