Can someone please explain to me, why when I try to access the CVA.com website, I get this error message:
***********
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache Server at www.cva.com Port 80

I tried the Microsoft fixes for this error but they did not fix anything. I don't get it unless it is a fault on the CVA end.
Thanks,

A couple of days ago, I removed one ammunition dealer from my links list relative to buying firearms, ammo, parts and such. Today I expanded that list. I changed it from pretty much just including dealers who deal directly with the public to also including manufacturers who may or may not deal directly with the public. That means I added a bunch of firearms manufacturers and ammunition manufacturers too. I also added some direct dealers that were not on the list before. Too many to show here, just look to the right side of my blog page and scroll down to: FIREARMS, AMMO, PARTS, ACCESSORIES & SUPPLIES - DEALERS & MANUFACTURERS - which is located in the blue sidebar.
All of those listed (and there will be more when I have the time) are either dealers from whom I have purchased before and with whom I am at least fairly satisfied as to service and price or are manufacturers whose products I own currently or have owned before. In the case of manufacturers, I may also have had direct dealings with some of them - for instance: Glock, Beretta and Remington.
Just because I removed one dealer from my list, pretty much because I did not like their pricing, does not mean I am about to remove the rest of them or not continue to add to the list. I think it important that we keep sharing information among ourselves, the shooting community, about the availability of what we each believe to be good and fairly priced products and that we let each other know about the companies who make and sell them to our satisfaction.

Representative Peter King, a Republican congressman from NY, has stated that he is seriously considering running for the presidency (source). A few years back, he almost seemed to me to be a middle of the road conservative. In recent years though, he has, without any doubt in my mind, revealed himself to be nothing more than a pretty far to the left liberal with his support of TSA taking to our streets, railways, bus terminals and with his support of the Patriot Act, gun control measures and other ways of whittling away our rights, see:
http://www.ontheissues.org/NY/Peter_King_Homeland_Security.htm.
I probably would rather vote for Obama again before voting for this two faced bastard politician. Perish the thought of me ever voting for Obama but at least with Obama I would know what evil I was getting. King is pretty much NY's version of John McCain as far as I am concerned. He is openly anti Tea Party, anti Libertarian and pro-gun control.
He continuously votes to whittle away our rights and to give the federal government more power all in the name of security apparently while destroying liberty. He claims to be for the 2nd amendment yet calls for infringement of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA) by way of seeking legislation for sensible gun control. Anyone with half a brain knows that is the anti-gun crowd's code for destroying the 2nd Amendment. He has called for extensive background checks in order for the People to be able to exercise the RKBA and has tried to pass legislation making it illegal to bring a firearm within 1,000 feet of a government official. (So where in the USA would you be able to own a firearm, in the middle of Kansas or Idaho maybe?) See:

While he often is quite vociferously in opposition to President Obama, he is also very wordy in his opposition to the right. He in essence says that the likes of the Tea Party and Libertarians are destroying unity among the Republican party. You may ask, is he dimwitted or just your typical Republican In Name Only (RINO)? What has destroyed the Republican Party are dimwitted left leaning RINOs like him. Believe me, he is a RINO at best and a closet full fledged Liberal Democrat at worst, as far as I can tell. I think he would be bad terrible news for freedom and rights loving Americans. Shit, what am I saying "I think he would be...", he already has been terrible for us!

...and prevented the Obamessiah and the USA from being insulted and embarrassed, in front of the rest of the world, by Russia's president Putin. (Oh, that's right - he wasn't embarrassed, he is to egotistical too even realize that is what Putin did to him.) Of course, Reagan also could have done the rest of the world, or at least the USA, a favor had he not been joking and actually carried out what he said he was about to do. It was back on August 11, 1984 that Ronald Reagan quipped:
"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
Had he actually meant it, I think, that the world would have been much more secure than it is today, what with Vladimir Putin pushing around Obama as if Obama and the USA were just so much meaningless fluff. Reagan never made the USA a laughing stock as Obama repeatedly has done to us nor do I think he ever actually weakened our country as Obama seems to have a penchant for doing.
The quip by Reagan was made while he was preparing to give a speech marking a milestone in American history. His actual opening line to that speech was:
"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you that today I signed legislation that will allow student religious groups to begin enjoying a right they've too long been denied — the freedom to meet in public high schools during non-school hours, just as other student groups are allowed to do."
Can you imagine that, an American president who instead of denying or restricting citizens rights, actually expanded and protected them. Ronald Reagan was very different from Barack Obama indeed, he was a president who both earned and deserved respect.

Thanks to the very talented Cher L, we have a video of some of the activities at the Sixth Annual Northeast Bloggershoot.
