Dad doesn’t like losing the illusion of power. He thinks it’s perfectly fine to threaten someone but is a hypocrite the moment he met with equal force. So they tried gaslighting and getting defensive and blaming the person that they tried to threaten.

The boyfriend interpreted as a bonding moment.
The father meant his placing the gun as a threat and got “called” on his bluff and gets angry.

I mean I kinda understand the threat and bonding mismatch from what we have. The part where he gets angry is missing.
