The Amendment did not grant us this right.”Absolutely, 100% correct!  We HAVE to start referring to these as PROTECTIONS of rights.  These rights existed before the BoR, exist during its validity, and will exist after the United States ceases to exist.

As for incorporation, even the drafter of the the portion of amendment incorporationists claim makes the BoR apply to the States reinforces that it was only intended to ensure States were complying with the Constitution’s “privileges and immunities” clause (which existed BEFORE and is uniquely separate from the BoR).  It was not intended to add anything new according to Mr. Bingham…the individual often cited as the one intending incorporation. 
http://www.federalistblog.us/h-r-report-no-22-bingham/“The clause of the fourteenth amendment, “no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States,” does not, in the opinion of the committee, refer to privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States other than those privileges and immunities embraced in the original text of the Constitution, article four, section two. The fourteenth, it is believed, did not add to the privileges or immunities before mentioned, but was deemed necessary for their enforcement as an express limitation upon the powers of the States. It had been judicially determined that the first eight articles of amendment of the Constitution were not limitations on the power of the States, and it was apprehended that the same might be held of the provision of the second section, fourth article.”
