Roberts and gunparties.com — the “the craigslist (sic) for guns”

The more you look, the more you find. The good Dr. Roberts is sniffing gunsmoke. Among his enterprises, or at least internet presences, is gunparties.com, which he describes as “the craigslist (sic) of guns.”

My questions for Dr. Roberts: (1) is this bullseye politics, or just bull?; and (2) now that you know about caching on Google, will you bother trying to scrub the gunpowder off the ‘net?

Roberts takes down collection website — still cached on Google

Removing a tattoo can be easier than removing a website from the internet. After Flathead Memo revealed that House District 4 (Whitefish) Republican candidate Dr. Rollan Roberts II ran the Internal Recovery Service, an outfit collecting medical debts, Roberts took down the Internal Recovery website.

Google, however, cached it. So it’s still on the internet, but in a different place. All that Roberts accomplished by trying to hide his collection business was proving he is not all that proud of how he makes some of his living.
