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.

Since you mentioned history, let's look at the state of the world when the Bill of Rights was written.  The world was still in the Agricultural Age, and the prospect of an industrial future with the advances it would create weren't even contemplated.  It's hard to argue that this amendment was intended to support technology no one could even dream about at the time.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
