After scoring what some conservatives have called a victory for free speech, the cast of Duck Dynasty is apparently taking aim at the right to bear arms, announcing a new line of semiautomatic, high-capacity guns that would blow any mallard out of the water.

The new line will offer nine shotguns, two semiautomatic rifles, and a semiautomatic pistol with features like large-capacity magazines holding at least 25 rounds, military-style designs, and other features similar to an assault rifle. And according to reports, each will come complete with an American flag bandana.

The cast happily shills for the weapons in a new video on the site, with controversial and outspoken patriarch, Phil Robertson, saying "Do you know what makes me happy ladies and gentlemen? To blow a mallard's head smooth off."

What's more, Everitt adds, "this could be an attempt to cash in on their current darling status in far-right-wing circles."

By all indications, they couldn't care less that the company making their guns, Mossberg, has drawn criticism for continuing to base their operations in North Haven, CT, just forty minutes from Newtown, CT, where gunman Adam Lanza massacred scores of children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
