I agree with you. I do think that 2nd amendment should be studied in its pure form. What we see now is the compromised version. It's really interesting to read it in its original form and learn about the compromises and deals made to get it adopted. Politics is nothing new. The thoughts of those in power at the time are far different than what we presently claim them to be. I spend a lot of time studying history and it is extremely difficult to find it in the books we use to teach it lol. You really have to dig deep into primary sources to make any sense of it.
