With the threat of “suspension” behind them and more free publicity than they know what to with following Phil Robertson’s controversial interview with GQ magazine, the Duck Dynasty family is cashing in by launching a brand new line of firearms.
CNN Money reports that the gun-maker Mossberg has teamed up with Duck Commander, the Robertson-family owned merchandise company, “to release nine different shotguns, as well as two semiautomatic rifles and a semiautomatic pistol.”
The military-style weapons pictured below feature large capacity magazines holding at least 25 rounds. As CNN puts it, “the rifle has some of the features of an assault rifle, but with a relatively low .22 caliber.”
Phil Robertson narrates one of the four ads Mossberg is using to promote the new line. The family patriarch reads the beginning of the Declaration of Independence, but the script shifts once he gets to the part about the “pursuit of happiness.”
“You know what makes me happy, ladies and gentleman?” Robertson asks. “To blow a mallard drake’s head smooth off.” The gun in his hand features the trademarked slogan “Faith. Family. Ducks.” And the spot directs viewers to ItsDuckSeason.com, which redirects to a page on Mossberg’s website that appears to be getting a debilitating amount of traffic Thursday morning.
