14. I will say this

While he has been an adult for a long time and has to take responsibility for his actions, he had way more tragedies in his life than anyone deserves, and I'm sure that influenced his love for guns. His father was killed in a home invasion. His sister was abducted, raped and murdered when she was 18 and at just 20, it was his responsibility to identify her body. He had 2 half brothers who died in a scuba diving accident.

I know he turned to drugs and alcohol and was still using when he was starting on Frasier. He's gone to the Betty Ford Clinic and AA, but now considers himself a "reformed drinker" who still "enjoys alcohol". As the child and grandchild of alcoholic and the sister of a "reformed" drug addict, all I can say is good luck with that.

I know my brother's brain is Swiss cheese after more than 20 years of drug abuse, even though he gave up drugs for religion about 20 years ago. He's 61 going on 16 - still incredibly self centered and thinks he knows what's best for everyone. And yes, he's a Republican gun nut. I can only imagine what Grammer's brain and liver are like, but I think he's probably like Donald Trump when it comes to women. It doesn't matter if they're a golddigger. As long as he has a young, pretty piece of ass, he imagines he's "loved".
