The second ammendment was intended to alllow citizens to protect themselves from their own despotic government if the need arises. If the government itself is the only one armed, then it becomes a dictatorship.

It seems Mr Ingersoll didn"t understand that if God is God, then He is holy and cannot fellowship with sin. This attribute of holiness is foriegn to men, so many of us will reject God without trying to understand it. We will drag God down to the level of man and then condemn Him for his unfairness. Poor Mr ingersoll !
