If I lived in Iowa, I would be all "Come live with me!" but, er, I don't. Hitchhiking isn't the best idea, so I'm not gonna tell you to come live with me.
Er... Steal his bat and bash his head in while he's sleeping. Kill your mom, too.
"Don't be a pussy." Surely a kind and loving mother.
Anyway, Dave sounds like a bad case of redneck. Is it at all possible to live with your dad instead?
If not, your best bet might be to steal his gun and hide it somewhere... or sell it, or something. (And, obviously, deny it like a mofo when he inevitably blames you.)
Why does Mr. Idjit feel a need to constantly reaffirm his own masculinity? Well, I'm not sure, I'm no psychologist. But it certainly sounds like he's been confronted on it more than once, probably from his own inebriated father. So my advice to you is to be a lot more careful - don't imply that he's insane. This will challenge the fragile, aggressive way in which he thinks of himself. If anything, don't identify yourself right off the bat as something he detests, i.e. liberal. There's nothing that a person loves more than feeling like he's converted the enemy - why don't you ask him to go target shooting or something? Tell your mother, in secret, that you're really trying to get to know him. You need all the allies you can get, even ones with as bad a sense of judgement as she apparently has. Ideally, by understanding some sense of common ground, you can achieve a sense of peace between yourselves
