For many little girls' fourth birthdays, the present of choice is usually something pretty and pink.

 

Like a doll.

 

Or a dress.

 

But Georgia state representative Sean Jerguson had a better idea...a hot pink .22 caliber gun.

 

According to the The Atlanta Journal Constitution Jerguson - a member of Georgiacarry, an advocacy group for the right to bear arms - "believes so strongly in gun ownership'' that he bought his daughter her own gun when she turned four.

 

And with his son's fourth birthday on the horizon, Jerguson plans on giving his boy a blue gun of his own.

 

Whether you're for or against gun ownership, putting a lethal weapon in the hands of a child who can't even read the instruction manual ~ and may not even be toilet-trained ~ seems a bit ludicrous.

 

Add in the fact that, on average, three kids died every day in non-homocide firearms incidents from 2000 to 2005, you have to wonder if Jerguson is fit to be a legislator, much less a parent.

The blogger should be happy that he's going to teach his kids safe firearm use at a young age so they won't be one of those statistics! Sounds like a good parent to me, not a crazy one.

that's it.\, I am running for office.

I've got no problem with that. He's not giving it to her with a box of ammo and telling her to go out back and the thing out!

tbt if you run can I be your right hand man?

My 7 year-old just got a Heritage .22 Single action with Pink Birdshead grips courtesy of Paul last month...Those Sheep would probably have me drawn and quartered.
