So then, you are recommending that children be housed in adult prisons? That sounds like a VERY bad idea to me. If you live in the USA and commit a crime then you go to prison and are separated from any children you have. I've never heard any leftists argue that non-adult criminals should be put in an adult prison. People that cross a country's border without following the laws of entry ARE COMMITTING A CRIME. I think there's a saying for this: You do the crime, you do the time.

You are very wrong here: "Where is manufacturing granted in the Second Amendment with or without a license? That's the question you need to ask." The USA is founded on the principle that the people (the collective word for every individual since there are 0 collective rights expressed) inherently poses all rights. The government has no authority to grant any right as it doesn't possess them. The people chose to give the government portions of their (the peoples' rights) in order for the government to be able to function. The 2nd amendment to the US constitution does NOT grant a right to the people rather it expressly limits what the government is allowed to do to the preexisting right of the people. Therefore, according to the constitution, all laws concerning the possession and bearing of any arm (knife, gun, cannon, bomb, club, battleship, bomber, tank, rocks, bows, arrows, sticks, etc) are unconstitutional. The amendment expressly forbids Congress to make any such law. Since the founders intended for the people to ALWAYS be armed as well as IF NOT BETTER THAN the government of what value would the right be if it excluded the ability to manufacture those arms? An "arm" only becomes so once it is completed as such. A sword is only metal until it is fashioned into the sword. Same for a gun, tank, battleship, artillery shell, etc. If you examine history you will see that much of the individual arms and also the heavy arms (cannon, mortars, etc) were supplied by private citizens when they reported for service. The early US Navy was mostly made of privately owned ships armed with privately owned cannon (the equivalent of today's cruisers or destroyers) and authorized by the Congress to operate on behalf of the USA.

I bought an MS trackball optical about 5 or 6 years ago for my sons (3 and 5) when their big trackball died. The young kids seem to get them well. When my main mouse died I borrowed my sons' temporarily. I got hooked and went out to get another one for them. They are great for FPS and are very accurate. I have since converted my wife and parents. I now own at least six or more and only one has died. You can still get some but they are harder to find. Bought 2 last fall, one for my wife at work and one extra. Nobody makes anything like it now.
