Singer Britney Spears is facing serious criticism after allowing her son Jayden to play with a large toy gun. The six-year-old was photographed pointing the toy gun at other people during their family vacation in California, reported contactmusic.com.

While Spears has been judged before for her parenting skills, a non-profit gun-control group is outraged by her action this time.

“As parents, it is our responsibility to set a good example for our children and as a celebrity parent, it is especially important,” declared Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

“Jayden was photographed not just playing with any toy gun — it looks like an assault weapon. It is disappointing to see Britney allowing her son to play with such a violent toy,” added Watts.

However, a source close to Spears spoke out to defend the star. “Britney has been justly criticised for some lapses in judgment as a mother, like driving around without securing her kid in a car seat. But if letting a boy play with a toy gun is bad mothering, then there must be millions of bad mothers in America,” said a source.
