'Duck Dynasty' Star Missy Robertson Shares Her Thoughts On Guns In Wake Of Parkland Shooting

One of the most hotly debated topics has been gun control, primarily due to the devastating shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida where a former student took the lives of seventeen people. Duck Dynasty star Missy Robertson weighed in regarding her thoughts on this issue, and she revealed that having a gun is the norm in the south and that the shooter in question was far too young to obtain such a destructive weapon. Click through for all the details. 

“From your perspective, from a hunting culture, and hearing the debate at where it is today, what do you make of all of this?”, Jeremy asked. “Well, in the south, in Louisiana, there are guns everywhere,” Missy began.

“It’s the norm, and it's not freaky to us to even have them. They are there all the time,” she confessed. “We teach a lot about safety. It's not just something that’s flippant; where our perspective comes from is that it's the heart of the person.”

She goes on to discuss the battle between good and bad when it comes to each gun owner. "That person: his heart is either good or bad, and they’re going to follow their heart. I pray for people’s hearts to change, because if they don’t they are going to find a way to hurt people.” 

Missy continues with the discussion surrounding the Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz, who was the owner of an AR-15 at age 19. "You know, those are easy means, and they can get to them I do believe.  I am a conservative and I know all this is very controversial but if it's easy for an 18-year-old to get that type of a gun, that’s way too easy. You know, if they can’t even drink legally until they are 21, they shouldn’t be using that kind of a weapon at all.”
