WOODBRIDGE, Conn. (WTNH)– A report it photo from a viewer is sending shock waves across social media and the state Tuesday. The photo was snapped at a local gun store and it shows a Bolt Action Rifle, resting on a baby’s lap.

That picture of the sixth-month-old baby girl with the rifle in front of her was taken by her father at Woodbridge Firearms Trading Post. He and the store owner say it’s just a picture, others say it’s just wrong.

The baby girl is becoming very popular on social media. The picture of the baby with a rifle resting on her lap was sent in to News 8 through our Report It feature and many are reacting.

“She can’t even speak yet and she has a gun in her hand and it’s bizarre,” said Alexa Grose, Seymour.

Baby Genevieve without the gun, with her bottle and her dad, Christopher Duffy, met News 8′s Erin Logan at Woodbridge Firearms where Duffy bought the gun.

That is just wrong. Babies drool and spit up. It could harm the finish on the rifle.

periodically, this is my FB profile pic. I wonder why I haven't had any negative feedback. Hmmmmm.

In fact, I just made it my profile pic AGAIN.

I think it is way past time we as patriots confront this absurdity. We have to (as Obama said) “get up in their face) about it.

Anyone and everyone with kids or grand kids should take a picture like these and post it on Facebook. We need to desensitize these hypersensitive sheep. Guns are part of this world, and are necessary for freedom. Get over it!!!

This picture is so darn heartwarming. Any man that is really a man, a manly man, can identify with this sweet little kid’s unbridled joy. I’m loving it!!!
