Pink's Husband Carey Hart Responds to Backlash After Letting Daughter Shoot a Rifle

Carey Hart is standing up for his parenting choices.

The 43-year-old former professional freestyle motocross competitor shared a video of daughter Willow, 7, shooting a rifle – and he’s proud of it.

“Haven’t poked the parent police bear in a few days. Willz and I shooting the 22 rifle,” Carey writes. “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 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”

After he posted the video, Carey got slammed for letting his daughter – who he shares with Pink – shoot the rifle while also slamming him for supporting guns.

“This is why America is the most f–ked up country in the world,” one critic wrote. “Tears and pain of shootings but hey … I’ll teach my kids to shoot. #f–kedup”

Carey then responded to the comments writing, “In America firearms are legal and not going away. So I choose to embrace it. Take the taboo out. Educate them so they don’t become a statistic. Many forms of shooting are an OLYMPIC SPORT.”
