For most four-year-old’s Christmas gifts are usually pretty straight forward, but for Teen Mom 2 star’s Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert’s daughter, Christmas was a little different.
Calvert gifted his daughter Adalynn not one but TWO firearms.
He captioned a photo of the youngster holding the pink gun, ‘My baby dolls 1st 22 cal crickett…… and yes @leahdawn92mtv is aware of this….. @nationalrifleassociation@nratv @nrawomen gun safety 100% #daddiescountrygirl #muddygirlcamo#22crickett #adalynnfaith‘
Calvert then posted another image of Adalynn holding another gun.
He captioned, ‘And here is the other one…… all pinkkkk @nationalrifleassociation@nratv @nrawomen @nrafamily#countrygirl #adalynnfaith#daddiescountrygirl @leahdawn92mtv‘
The Christmas gifts were quick to cause controversy, and social media users slammed the father for his decision to buy her guns.
‘This is something I would never buy for my child as I do not concede violence,’ one concerned commenter wrote.
‘My concern is that she might set it off by accident,’ another person quipped.
However, not all of Calvert’s followers were against his decision.
One wrote, ‘I grew up in the country in Texas and every child was taught how to shoot a gun. How else do you expect them to learn to hunt??’
‘I’m all for guns. My kid has to same exact gun,’ another added.
