Hope she doesn’t shoot anybody.
Good way to bring her up---just need to teach how to hold it right--lk

Pretty unlikely cuz her hand is nowhere near the trigger, but I'm sure all anti-gun alarmists already know this.

Unless they really need to be shot.
Someone once said most of our problems could be solved by a three day open season on professional politicians and bureaucrats.

Nah, if they get enough of the worst of them in the 3 days most of the rest would be "scared straight" and either retire or start doing their jobs right to keep the citizens from having another open season.
It's good to teach them young. Mine were shooting at the range small rifle and small pistol at around 10 years.

Still waiting for the day...
My kid on her very first live fire;

I grew up in small town Western Kentucky, farm country. Everyone hunted, fished, target shot etc.
Boys (and some girls) usually got their first BB gun around age 8 or so, they got to shoot real guns under supervision. By about 12 they often got a 22 or shotgun for hunting. Some families started their kids younger, some older.
Hunting season started the same week as school around Sep 1. 15-20 minutes after school got out you saw kids as young as 9 with a 22 or single shot shotgun strapped on the handle bars of a bike heading to the woods along the Ohio River to go hunting. Or riding in the back of a pickup driven by their Dad, Uncle, Older brother. Yes riding in the bed of a pickup truck was legal and we did it all the time. We were smart enough to know to stay seated and hold on.

Looks like she has a good start. She is lucky to have you for a parent.
I started our youngest, Jasmine, with a child size 22 target rifle at age 9 (it had been her oldest brother's when he was the same age). She also got to try 22 pistols. At about 14 I started her on large caliber pistols at the indoor range. She takes after her mother, the bigger the hole and the bigger the boom the more she liked it. But Mom favored my 45 auto, Jasmine liked my 44 Magnum.
It didn't hurt or warp either of them. Mom (Debra was 18 when we married and I taught her to shoot.) finished college and became a Nurse. Jasmine is starting her second year of medical school aiming at being a surgeon.

Thanks.
Its nice to know you & your family enjoyed shooting too.
I started at a very young age and merely passing the torch.
I believe it is better to be taught properly than for children to explore guns on their own. We use range time as bonding moments as I work abroad and it is also a weight of my shoulder to know they can protect themselves if needed while i'm not home.

Me & my very first shooter
Wifey is pretty good at it too
Caught the fire & sparks!
The sight was off LOL
Lookout she's got a dog...

I find this post very disturbing and nothing to do with photography.
