“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 very dis­appointing to see Britney allowing her young son to play with such a violent toy,” added Watts.

However, a source close to Spears has spoken out to defend the star.

“Britney’s 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, there must be millions and mil­lions of bad mothers in America,” said a source.u00a0
