I am old enough to remember when certain books could not be sold in my hometown. I am pretty old, however.

The 14th was the legal wedge Th USSC used to assume jurisdiction of affairs that had previously been considered solely the concerns of the states.

Where, anywhere in the Constitution, do the words "separation of church and state" appear. That's right, they don't. Again, though. The militia is not the National Guard. The militia is the body of armed citizenry.

Long after the adoption of the Constitution, there were established churches in some states. Because, as you said, the entire BOR only restricted Congress. But now, why should the "right to bear arms" be the only one left behind in constraining the states?

Anyway, even if I'm 100% wrong, as long as we are improving the Constitution, we might as well add the important right to it. Don't you think??
