I was picturing Mr Hanky charging into the dining room with affixed bayonet right at the end of the dinner prayer to carve up the turkey.

a better idea would be to have a live hog on hand to butcher for the x-mas feast. after you shoot it with the EBR, carve out some slabs with the fixed bayonet, and use it to grill it over an open flame.

Would his reaction ave been worse if it was a punt gun that he saw?
Or was it the fact that the weapon Hanky had was the embodiment of all that is evil in the eyes of a lefty wanker that did it?
Can you imagine Sean's reaction if Hanky had one of those semi MG42s with an ammo belt hanging around him?

So, sending him to boot camp at Parris Island is out of the question, I take it?
I would agree with BobCat's assesment.
Holiday's can be very stressful at times for people, and there may have been things going that we don't know about. He may have had a breakdown about something else and just blamed it on the rifle for whatever reason.
I've known people to be afraid of firearms, and "morally opposed" to them, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone remotely close to having both characteristics to such an extreme that it would cause a breakdown. Such a person would certainly be dangerous.
If he's just afraid, that can be dealt with.

I have a feeling this guy won't be around for turkey next year, maybe not for Christmas ham this year. But if he is . . .
My stepdaughter used to have similar unfounded fears, though I must admit much much milder, never saw her cry over a gun. Slowly over the years she saw that a gun owner wasn't a blood thirsty maniac, and that those naughty guns in the safe didn't seem to hurt anyone on their own. Of course the venison pizza didn't hurt any either!
Now she is grown with three kids of her own, and when CCW became law here in Ohio, she found herself defending those responsible gun owners she knows when her sister in law went on a tirade about the unavoidable increase in shootings and street crime it would undoubtedly bring to bear on society.
A slow and cautious convert can be a strong ally once they see the light!

Mr Hanky ?
Gonna make your handle verry memorable. Welcome to THR. I would like a SOCOM 16 to go with that tissue.
I would recomend sending your aunt to this thread or send her a copy if it was allowed. There is a wide field of opinion here about Sean and many good recomends. Like a gentle introduction and a clear schedule for an open range and maybe 22lr and 5-10 bricks. A discusion of what a rechargable drill or other tool compared to arms.

You know, I think there's a lot of really good advice here. I mean, sure... some folks would use the knowledge of another's weakness as a tool for amusement. You know... Making sure you always have your AR-15 hatpin on, or your AK-47 tieclip.
Some guys would be certain to always have "The Green Beret" playing on the DVD surround sound whenever a helpless fellow like this Sean came over. A few of the extremists would even make sure to decorate their Christmas tree with lanyards of .308's, in 'specially shined links... But not you guys!
You guys are the best... And I mean that. Discussing the best ways to help this poor human being are what The High Road is all about! And while you're talking it over with Sean, performing your therapy on him, I'm quite sure that you wouldn't want the accidental sight of a nasty ole firearm scaring him back into oblivion, would you?
I guess the only kind thing to do would be to pack up all your evil guns and find somewhere safe to send them, where they can't scare the poor guy while he's healing... You could send 'em to me, I guess... I mean, They could keep my guns company and all... and I'd make sure that they ate a regular diet, as often as they needed to...

I can see a FUN Christmas dinner if you wana have some fun.....
Your place settings will look like:
And right by the place-card with his name on it you simply put this explanation of the evil bayonet he saw on Thanksgiving:
Disciples of Death (Gun Owners) who claim that they have a sense of history will sometimes purchase yet another implement of mass murder to go with their evil guns. FBI statistics show countless thousands of examples of mass murderers who started a robbery at a liquor store with a gun, ran out of ammunition, and then continued their deadly rampage against the innocent community where they lived with a bayonet!
We must deny gun toting criminals this ability! If we, as responsible members of elite-society, can get all of the bayonets off of the streets and get them onto our dining room tables we will so devastate the morale of the common robber and thug that he will cease his activities! Without a bayonet to back up his deadly bullets, there is no way most men would have the courage to rob others or to commit any crime with a gun. We may not yet be able to file off all existing bayonet lugs, (or better yet melt down and crush ALL firearms) but we can do the next best thing!
How? It's easy to be socially responsible! Read on!
We encourage all members of our anti-gun movement to purchase all of the bayonets from the evil war-armories that are bent on destroying our society! (Otherwise known as gunshops and army surplus stores.) Our mission is to transform every existing bayonet into silverware with an elegant dining flair.
While protecting society, you too can make tasteful statement in dining decor with this magnificent:
Pâté Knife For A Black-Tie Table Setting
Your business associates and other elite members of high society like yourself will understand that YOU are doing your part to curb the rampant bayonet crime spreading across our country when they see your table delicately set with this wonderful Pâté Knife.
You will impress your friends beyond words by tastefully decorating your banquet table in such a manner. No 5-star dinner would be complete without one and no society hostess would consider her table setting complete without having this truly special piece of silverware at each and every place.
Displaying such a socially conscious Pâté Knife tells your guests that you have done your part to support gun control and to stop the killing by denying evil-doers access to such an evil implement of death.
Make a statement! Be active! Remember thinking critically is crass and downright rude. Stand up for guncontrol it takes a village.
Above is stolen from here
My response is NOT advice.. it is tongue in cheek for your entertainment and the entertainment of the board only.... DO NOT DO WHAT I SAID ABOVE. I agree with other posters - either you are adding facts to the story that are less than wholly real, or this guy is in my uninformed opinion a bit on the un mentally healthy side....

Oh yeah, we know who this guy voted for last election.
Sean's behavior is beyond belief. I truly LMAOed at first read. However,
I agree wholeheartedly with BobCat's approach. Somebody, and quick, needs to ascertain this guy's mental health before he does something that will hurt either your aunt, or poor little Sean, or both.
Invite him over for Christmas dinner, a drink, something.

Let me assure you, Chase is telling the truth.
I don't know how I missed this thread earlier, but Chase is a good friend and shooting buddy of mine. I'm glad to see he finally joined up.
The day after Thanksgiving, Chase called me and told me this... I laughed, but I was more disturbed than amused. I mean, that just ain't normal!
But on to the point, I know Jess (the aunt), and know the rest of the immediate family. I was also there when he purchase the EBR (I'm its godfather).
I didn't get a chance to meet Sean, though -- what a shame. So believe me, all you who are predisposed to doubt -- Chase is telling the truth.
Welcome to THR, Mr. Hanky.

There are only two things that make me cry. The first is my wife's credit card bills and the second is ............ Okay that is one thing that would make me cry.
I have to say though that I laughed so hard I cried. I got a headache from laughing so much.
Is Sean one of those helpless metrosexual guys who inhabit cities and are really out of place outside the city? Sounds like a really sensitive guy. Geez! If this story is true then that fella needs some counseling. What would have happened if you asked him to go shooting? Ahh! These are the finer moments in life that make it truly worth living!

Hilarious! But that guy isn't all together upstairs (aside from the fact that he's liberal )

"If everybody in the house dropped the slide on a 1911 at the same time would Sean affix himself to the ceiling like the cat in the cartoons?"
If so, I imagine the extra weight in his shorts would soon bring him back down to earth.

You want irony? Chase's (or, Mr Hanky's) mother is in psychology, and Chase is currently working on going into it as well.

Welcome to THR. You might as well leave, because the reaction to your posts will be all downhill from here.
My initial response almost had me in tears - of laughter. But upon later thought, I feel very sorry for Sean (and your aunt), because Sean is very sick. Sean can't deal with reality...surely, with all the reports about the 4 million-strong NRA, he knew that he'd come across a gun in private hands (even an "EVIL ASSAULT RIFLE") sometime in his life (esp. in Utah). His inability to think things through to their logical conclusion and to deal with things in life that he doesn't like is a real sign of big emotional/mental problems.
Seriously, Sean needs help. And your aunt needs to get away from him ASAP, at least until he is cured (if ever). Extreme fear can cause a person to do very strange, even dangerous, things, and Sean has shown that he can get to that state without much provocation. Besides, what if your aunt wants to buy a gun later on, and they're married?
I could understand a child crying about a gun (a small child, particularly of the homo sapiens lackus dickus sub-species), even as I might be disturbed by it, but an adult male!? I mean, maybe I'd shed a tear or two if someone who wanted or threatened to kill me had pointed a loaded weapon in my face, but even that's a stretch - I'd much more likely either have pummelled the guy half-to-death, or be drunk and pi$$ed off afterwards, or both. But you didn't threaten him at all (at least as a normal person would understand a threat).
As an aside, my 3-year-old daughter isn't the least bit afraid of guns. She's very curious about mine and the ammo (which leads me to be VERY careful, far more than I would be if only adults-other than Sean-were in the house), and I think that in a year or so when she understands them better she'll start pestering me to let her in on the fun. A freaking 3-YEAR-OLD GIRL [head shaking from left to right, repeatedly].
Sean needs help, and your aunt needs a new boyfriend.

Sean is ill.
The sight of an inanimate object will not cause a sane adult to completely cease to function and still be distraught enough some time after the fact to still burst into tears from thinking about it.
If he had immediately screamed and run, then he could have some sort of a phobia. Still not normal, but a much better response, IMO.
Closing his eyes and lying down and then crying and wailing about it later is really not at all a healthy response.
