The late July 28, 1789 version of the Second Amendment is particularly interesting because it has an additional important explanatory clause missing from the ratified version, by the way:

"A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but no person religiously scrupulous shall be compelled to bear arms."
