Pink’s husband Carey Hart has once again got himself in trouble with the “parent police.”

The motocross star has caused a stir on Instagram after posting a video of his seven-year-old daughter Willow firing a .22-caliber rifle.

Carey Hart blasted for this controversial Instagram of his daughter

Kneeling down to fire the gun in what appears to be the middle of a field, willow asks:

"Can I go? Is the safety on?" before firing a round.

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 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

"Haven’t poked the parent police bear in a few days," 43-ear-old Hart captioned the video.

"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," Hart revealed. "For the record [none] 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"

Carey’s post has sparked a fierce debate amongst his followers.

Whilst some praised Pink’s husband for teaching their daughter gun safety at a young age, others thought it was irresponsible for a seven year old to be handling a gun.

"That is your opinion. I never slam people for speaking their opinion,"  Hart wrote in response to a negative comment. "I enjoy debate and shedding light on subjects that are sensitive like this. Now when you disrespect my country or 'culture' I feel I have every right to get nasty."

"Now I understand that you don't 'give a f**k it's my 2nd amendment right' but I sure as hell do," he continued. "For one I NEVER block anyone, but you are free to unfollow me since my American ways so deeply bother you. Goodbye."

In December Hart came under fire for his parenting style after posting a picture of his and Pink’s then two-year-old son Jameson riding a dirt bike, prompting Pink to take to social media to defend her husband.

Happy b day to my #2, Jamo!!!! He is such a blast and he'll on wheels!!!!!! These 2 years have gone fast!!!

"How often have you spent time with my husband? How often have you watched him parent? Do you know my children? Are you aware of their development? Even better: What are your credentials in Parenting expertise? Are you a perfect parent? S**t, are you even a parent? A psychologist? A teaser? These are bold statements from a social media spectator."

Carey was also criticised last year for taking Jameson out in public when he had the contagious viral infection hand, foot and mouth disease.
