Pink’s Celebrity Daughter is a Shooter

Not all famous entertainers are ignorant anti-gunners, as proven by a recent Instagram video posted by hartluck, the userid of former motorcycle racer Carey Hart, husband of the well-known singer known as Pink.

Hart posted a video of their 7-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart firing a rifle, with the following caption:

Haven’t poked the parent police bear in a few days. Willz and I shooting the 22 rifle. She is getting pretty good. Can hit a 12 inch pie plate from 30 yards. Started her shooting at 3yrs old. For the record non[sic] of us hunt, just enjoy shooting for sport. I’m raising the kids with knowledge of fire arms, how to handle them, shoot them, store them, and avoid them in uneducated hands. #knowledgeispower

Gotta love the closing hashtag because in this case it’s absolutely accurate. Children need to learn about guns and their safe use, no matter what.

In other words, it doesn’t matter whether you like or dislike firearms — you really do need to know about them, how they work, how to handle them safely, and how to fire them accurately. There may come a time when such knowledge will save your life or the lives of others.

Kudos to Pink and Mr. Hart for teaching their kids about guns and not being afraid to tell the world about it. Maybe, just maybe, it will help open the eyes of some folks who’d previously believed the anti-gun hatred preached by so many.

Here’s the Instagram post, complete with video.
