In my US history classes in junior high and high school, my teachers presented the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution as a political right.

"In my US history classes in junior high and high school, my teachers presented the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution as a political [??? emphasis added] right.

Thank you for posting Army Air Corps.

Did your history teachers ever mention the reason for the fed’s constitutionally limited powers, such powers not including the power to make civil gun laws?

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
