It's, well, "Shotgun" Randy Kuhl. Here he was on Wednesday:
Area students got a taste of national government as U.S. Rep. John R. "Randy" Kuhl Jr. visited Cattaraugus County Wednesday.
The 29th Congressional District Republican spoke to class of Cattaraugus-Allegany County BOCES county government students who meet weekly at the Cattaraugus County Center. ...
The congressman said he had an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association and owned nine shotguns. (Emphasis added.
A member of the New York State Legislature who is running for Congress pulled two shotguns on his wife at a dinner party in 1994 and threatened to shoot her, according to her divorce complaint. ...
"In or about 1994, while the parties were hosting a dinner party at their home, the defendant (Kuhl) took out two shotguns and threatened to shoot plaintiff (Kuhl-Peterson)," the papers say.
Ms. Kuhl-Peterson filed for divorce in late 1998, charging that Mr. Kuhl had endangered her "mental and physical well-being and rendered it unsafe and improper for the parties to continue to reside together." The divorce was completed in 2000 in an agreement that allowed Mr. Kuhl to keep the house and directed him to make two financial payments to his wife.
If you are known for making violent threats against women while brandishing not one but two shotguns, I'd think you'd want to shut up about how many of those things you own.
