I hear you and they are precious. I am a very logical thinker who uses facts and reality as opposed to an emotional thinker. For example, many more children die by drowning in swimming pools. The number of guns DWARFS the number of swimming pools. Would posting a picture of her in a swimming pool be worse since they are in fact more deadly?

Just like at the pool or at the beach, we as parents must use reason and common sense to ensure our children's safety and guns are no different. They are inherently no more or less dangerous than many other every day objects we have around the home.

well i wish you the best.... and your adorable little girl too..

With over 35 guns in my house and 20K+ rounds of ammunition, my child has grown up and will continue to grow up with them as part of her every day life. No loaded weapons are with in her reach of course. Because they are a part of every day life for her, they are not mysterious and she pays no special attention to them. She knows they are daddy's and will never touch them with out me around (of course she cant as most are in the safe when I'm not).

It is children who are sheltered from guns who want to "play" with them. Ignorance also plays an important part of most gun related accidents. When a child grows up with them and knows proper handling procedures the chances of an accident are greatly reduced. I am proud of her, she knows what most of them are and can tell you what parts are what. We yell at the ignorant media together when they say "clips" instead of the proper term, "magazine." Today we field stripped this AKM and I tried to teach her how the AKM operating system works. haha

I will admit, she is more interested in fishing right now. She LOVES it. The only problem I have is that she gets angry when we use the shrimp for bait instead of cooking it!

She's a doll! ^ this just gave me a whole new respect for you bro. That is exactly how it should be and I could not agree more about the sheltered kids. My oldest is going to hunters safety course this year.. oh and since you have so many guns, why not get her something a little more ladylike?

That's not how she suppose to hold an AK...

it just takes one time...maybe somedayshowing the gun to a friend.. just one second of an instance... i hope that you always have success..believe me..i do.. she is beautiful little girl.... i just hear so many times..over the tragic story.. remember no matter how much you trust your child...they are still a child.. with a childs mind..

Am glad you think like that. However, children don't always think the same.

Nice pic !!
Everyone in my family (besides my dad) thought i was nutz when the first thing i bought both my kids when they were born was a gun and cammo one z..lol Daughter has a pink gun, son has regular one.. Been teaching them gun safely since they could hold it themselves.. Even gun safety when playing the wii..lol All guns locked in a safe with trigger locks too.. No little fingers will be touching them without daddy right there..

lol @ the people who think kids shouldn't be allowed to touch guns. I think basic gun safety should be a class you have to take in high school. Most any kid that is educated about guns and understands their ability to end lives, will be less likely to have a fatal accident, period. Its the kids that DON'T know about guns that think guns are cool and want to toy with them and end up hurting someone.


Anyway, sweet gun and cute kid.

i agree, my daughter has shot her first gun the last few weeks. She was hitting good with iron sights with a bb gun. So i let her shoot the .22 this week and she did surprisingly well. Of course i was right there with one hand on it the whole time. My daughter is 5. Guns are as safe as other things around the house, as long as you teach the kids.....safety!

I agree. I just love reading the comments from the gun haters. Cute kid JD, and great pic. When I have kids, they will also be taught at a young age.

i just want to clarify... i am not a gun hater.... i hate guns in the wrong hands... i have a gun and a permit to carry... it has nothing to do with hating guns..it is protecting the innocent and thats as far as i go with it.. the ones that cannot think for themselves was my only concern... i believe in protecting yourself... and i believe we all should be able to bare arms ... to protect ourselves and our family.. this was an AK47 in a childs hands... if you see nothing wrong with that...fine...
