Catalysis of the addition of a methyl group to arginine at position 2 of the histone H3. Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to an amino group of an arginine residue in a protein substrate. Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone-arginine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone-N-methyl-arginine. Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group (CH3-) to a histone.
