If there’s a sure-fire combination for internet controversy, it’s posting an Instagram video of a child using a gun, but that’s exactly what Pink’s husband, Carey Hart has done.
The former professional freestyle motocross competitor shared a video of their seven-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart, shooting a .22 inch rifle
In the video, you can hear her ask, “is the safety on?” before firing the gun.

Knowing that his post would be… well… controversial, the 43-year-old braced himself for the “parent police,” but defended his actions as teaching his children how to use and respect guns.

Actually, there is a legal age in Australia. In Australia, you can't fire a gun without a license, and you can't get a license until you are 12. In WA it's 18.
The lack of research in every single article on this website astounds me. I don't even know why I keep coming back.
"In Australia, you can't fire a gun without a license". I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. I've shot at a pistol range and I've never had a firearms licence.
You were at a range, under supervision by a licenced shooter no doubt, which is one of the exemptions. If you'd just been at a shop that sold guns and they were like "wanna fire off a few rounds?" you'd have a point.
Incorrect. You can fire a gun at a range with a licensed supervisor. My Dad has taken me many times. Your lack of research in every single comment astounds me, I don’t even know why you keep coming back.
Yeah, but the original comment was that you can't FIRE a gun without a licence, nothing about buying one.
Shooting is legal and a legitimate sport. It's an Olympic event.
