Donald Trump Jr is in hot water on social media after posting a picture of his eldest son holding a gun on Thursday.
The 40-year-old is under fire after posting a throwback picture of nine-year-old Donald Trump III holding a double-barreled shotgun while on a duck hunting trip.
'Donnie helping me out in the #duck blind last season,' he said in the post caption, tagging the photo in Texas.
Definitely the best #hunting buddy out there. Get them outdoors early and often... you won't regret it!!!'
The image has garnered split reactions, with many wondering if it is safe for such a young child to be holding the gun.
'Guns are a dangerous toy for a child,' said one person in the comments.
Another added: 'You truly are disgusting....'
'Please tell me this is for food and not just a sport; and that it’s being done as painlessly as possible,' a different parent stated.

Even from our place in the north valleys it might be closer to go to the one in CC rather than WC range. But, we still hear fidiots shooting out here. 5,000 feet clearance? LOL!
One evening we dared a budding shootout our local streetlight. We never thought he would really hit it.
Chapstick very possible, also the entire photo looks like it was played with on a computer, enhancing overall color. The red glove is the tell.
Photo after photo of boys AND GIRLS of seven, eight and up holding high-powered deer rifles while posing next to the deer THEY killed.
I shot my first firearm at age four (hands-on safety training....this is a real gun, that is a toy gun..they are different).
I have seen 5 year old kids with great muzzle discipline.
Don’t see a problem. Looks A okay by me.
LMAO! They can hashtag it and make themselves feel better.
Nice pic. Good teach the kids how to use guns at a early age. Heck they would freak out up here where I live. Most all the kids up here hunt.
I'm not sure how old I was when I first held a gun, but one thing is for damn sure-it was made perfectly clear to me that it wasn't a toy.
At nine I got my first shotgun, a used single barrel 20ga.
At 14 I graduated to a double barrel 16ga.
At 18 I bought a single barrel 12ga from a friend who needed money.
Taught by my dad, uncles and every adult around how to handle and care for them. They were never considered toys. Always potentially deadly tools.
I don’t know about you, but I’m keeping these perverts as far from my ass as possible.
Remember, folks, this is England, where the MENTION of the word “gun” will panic thousands and likely draw a police response.
Remember Western Auto? A 9 year old could plunk cash on the counter an buy a gun.
The world has changed.
He’s adorable!
Nations rarely avoid socialism after women get the vote.
Off to the gun show at the convention center in a few minutes. Today—heat and smoke—makes that appealing indoor alternative.
$15 a YEAR? That is practically free. Sure it isn’t a session?
Studies (reluctantly) support your assertion, in spades.
Vegetarians who condemn hunting are at least honest in their disagreement.
Everyone else is a cowardly hypocrite who pays others to do their killing and butchering.
