What Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was used to incorporate the Second Amendment to the states?

The US Supreme Court incorporated the Second Amendment to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause as a result of their decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago, 261 US ___ (2010).Although the Privileges and Immunities Clause was originally thought to incorporate the Bill of Rights to the states, the Supreme Court blocked this path with its decision in the first case interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment, The Slaughter-House Cases, 83 US 36 (1873).In the opinion of the Court, Justice Samuel Miller concluded the Privileges or Immunities Clause protects only those rights "which owe their existence to the Federal government, its National character, its Constitution, or its laws." Justice Samuel Alito summarized the Court's earlier thinking in his recent written opinion for McDonald: "The Court held that other fundamental rights-rights that predated the creation of the Federal Government and that 'the State governments were created to establish and secure' - were not protected by the Clause."The Court later explicitly refused to apply the Second Amendment to the States in US v. Cruikshank, 92 US 542 (1876), a decision that stood for 134 years.
