[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's on this kick of 2nd Amendment everything, posts non-stop on Facebook about NRA/2nd Amendment/gun rights, etc. (I finally just hid him.) We were not raised in anything close to a "gun rights" house, so this is new behavior for him and in direct response to the Parkland shooting at this point. He admits that the kids' response and mobilization after the Parkland shooting bolstered him to join the NRA and he legitimately believes that people are trying to "restrict my god-given constitutional right to own a gun."

Whatever, I was dealing with his crazy, until he called me a neglectful mother because I won't get my daughter trained and armed. At first I thought he was kidding. Then it was apparent he was not. FWIW, he's never married, no kids, 50+ angry middle aged dude. I was going to let it go, but then I called him out, said, "you don't get to question me about my parenting, you just don't. I don't care what your beliefs are, have them, you're entitled, but stay out of our parenting choices." He spewed all kinds of crap to me about how I'll be responsible when she's attacked by out of control frat boys in college some day.

OK, so he's crazy. But what the hell. This man has been disrespectful, somewhat abusive, awful brother my whole adult life. At this point I want to cut him off, especially don't want him to have contact with my daughter, whom, by the way, he's met all of 5 times in her life.

Am I overreacting? What would people do in this situation?? Thankfully we don't live in the same city.[/quote]

Ask him WTF he's so angry about. Trump is in the White House and his angry white male friends have controlled all the levers of power for more than a year. So why is he so angry?[/quote]
