The US Supreme Court has incorporated most of the Bill of Rights to the States via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. The Second Amendment was applied most recently as a result of McDonald v. City of Chicago, (2010).
The Amendments that remain completely unincorporated are the Third Amendment (except in the Second Circuit, due to the decision in Engblom v. Carey, 677 F.2d 957 (1982) and the Seventh Amendment.
The Fifth Amendment right to indictment by Grand Jury is unincorporated because all states have implemented procedures to ensure due process during the indictment phase (whether by Grand Jury or other means).
The Eighth Amendment protection against excessive bail or excessive fines is likewise not incorporated because the only challenge to this Clause presented to the US Supreme Court was rendered moot by the defendant's conviction before the Court could review the case. Generally, state laws and procedural due process provide adequate protection without incorporation.
While the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are technically part of the Bill of Rights, they are non-triable and not subject to the incorporation process.
