Shortly before a media firestorm erupted over Phil Robertson’s anti-LGBT comments, a weapons manufacturer released a series of ads featuring the “Duck Dynasty” patriarch and pandering to aggrieved conservatives.
The Connecticut-based gun manufacturer Mossberg announced a partnership last summer with the reality show star’s company, Duck Commander, to sell a line of 12 “Duck Dynasty” themed weapons coated in hunting camouflage and stamped with the words, “Faith. Family. Ducks.”
In one 40-second TV spot released last month the reality show star, two of his sons and his brother solemnly prepare for a duck hunt as he recites the opening lines from the Constitution.
everyday that goes by we learn of another faction of radicals pushing WMD's now in the racist/bigoted name of that duck guy replete with accessories, just another way to sell guns and ramp up the the other radical zealots, this guy is probably worth more than reported with all the right wing ugly in the country holding him up, and we know hate sells like sex.
“Those are rights that no government can take from you to live, be free and pursue happiness,” Robertson says in a voice-over. “You know what makes me happy, ladies and gentlemen? To blow a mallard drake’s head smooth off.”
Another spot suggests biblical inspiration for his hobby: “Where there is a design, there is a designer. We were designed to kill ducks.”
However, not all of the Duck Commander weapons are designed for duck hunting.
Mossberg’s website advertises a .22-caliber pistol and rifle that are “perfect for small game, plinking (and) target shooting – or cleaning cottonmouths out of your duck blind.”
But a pistol and one of the rifles featured in the TV-themed lineup are military-style designs with large capacity magazines holding at least 25 rounds, and are too powerful for small game such as waterfowl.
and there it is the reason he's still on set and the republicans brown nosing him and his his bigotry, more guns, more guns= more money, more money, are they using him with or without his permission?  if we take out the T-P will these swamp rats go too?
