The original intent, and the wording of the text, was all sorts of arms, not just the few sorts of arms that you are fond of. You are projecting your daydreams on the Constitution rather than reading what the Constitution actually says.
Yes, you are describing your ideal world. That's harmless. I'd be much more careful about not confusing your blue daydreams with the history of the United States of America. I'd be aware that red leaning people have daydreams too, daydreams much more compatible with the laws of the land.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
