That's quite the stretch. How did you get to "personal" in that? If you want to dig into the meaning of armaments, let's not get "personal" and look at the real definition:
ar·ma·ment (ärm-mnt)
n.
1. The weapons and supplies of war with which a military unit is equipped.
2. All the military forces and war equipment of a country. Often used in the plural.
3. A military force equipped for war.
4. The process of arming for war.

The Consitution, like many laws, was written at a very different time than the present. When it was written, the worst "armament" you had to fear was a musket. And one person's differing interpretation of one line in the Constitution from another person's interpretation hardly means that the rest of the Constitution should be burned, no matter how dramatic you make it sound.
But you get points for sensationalism.
