It was bound to happen sooner or later: The men of A&E's hit reality TV show Duck Dynasty are releasing their own line of guns with the gunmakers at Mossberg. CNN reports that the firearms will be decked out in the gang's favored print of camouflage and will retail for "at least $500."
The Duck Commander gun line series offers nine different types of shotguns as well as two semiautomatic rifles and a semiautomatic pistol. "We hold these truths to be self evident," Dynasty castmember Phil Robertson says in a commercial for Mossberg. "That all men are created equal. They've been endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. Those are rights that no government can take from you. To live, be free, and pursue happiness. You know what makes me happy, ladies and gentlemen? To blow a mallard drake's head smooth off."
A spokesperson confirmed that the guns are being shipped to distributors, but neglected to mention which specific stores will carry the line.
