Rep. Randy Kuhl (R-NY), who has a bad history with guns, might start "packing" over Iraq protests

This is a good one. Rep. Randy Kuhl (R-NY) is infamous for an incident where he allegedly pulled two shotguns on his now ex-wife. So, we know he likes his guns.

Apparently, the pressure from Kuhl's constituents over his continued fealty to Bush's failed Iraq policy is making him think about arming up again.

That's what the Congressman told an editor at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

Kuhl said that he wasn't at his offices when the protesters in Bath and Fairport were there. When I asked him if he had ever protested, he said "Yes, when I walked off the floor in Congress recently." I asked if that means he thinks the protesters have a right to do so and he again said "yes, just not over the line." He said that the types of protests have caused him to rethink security at his offices and that means securing doors. He said they are "more protective now" and that he "thought about packing."

He also said that most of the protesters were not from the district but that he offered to meet them at a later time.

That's good. Let them know you're going to be carrying a gun. That's a good way to entice constituents to meet with you.

And, since Kuhl has such a fascination with guns, maybe he can get his butt over to Iraq and help find the 190,000 missing guns that are probably being used against U.S. soldiers. John Bruhns, an Iraq vet working with Americans Against Escalation in Iraq, summed up that danger in a letter to the Washington Post:

Now, over three years later, the United States is bogged down in a civil war, with multiple warring factions struggling to dominate the country. As much as those factions may hate each other, they share one common goal: killing American soldiers. The thought of an insurgent attacking my fellow troops with a weapon that we provided to him is infuriating.

I hope the Pentagon will do everything in its power to find out what happened to the missing weapons.

This is what we've come to: American guns being used against American soldiers in Iraq. American Congressman arming himself against his constituents because of Iraq.
