Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt cause outrage over gun comments Heidi and Spencer show off their gun collection in this documentary Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag show off their guns to UK documentary makers. CRITICS are calling a video of reality star couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt showing off an arsenal of firearms as "the two best reasons for harsher gun control legislation." The former Hills stars showed off their gun collection for a UK documentary called "Speidi: Scandal, Secrets & Surgery!" arguing that owning the weapons was one of the "greatest rights to be an American." The pair, known as Speidi, pulled out six guns for the cameras including an FBI sniper rifle, a Benelli semi-automatic shotgun and a rapid engagement precision rifle from a cabinet inside their Santa Barbara, California beach house. "I want to share something with you that I know, unfortunately, you cannot possess in your amazing country," Pratt told the UK audience. So, I will let you have a glimpse at the amazing laws of America. Heidi then continued by discussing her love of guns and the pride and security she felt in owning them. "This is one of my favourite activities," Montag said. It gives me a new sense of self every time I do. It makes me feel proud to be an American. Adding: "I'd like to say something about guns as well. I think it is one of the greatest rights to be an American. I personally didn't feel safe especially with crazed fans out there and stalkers. If somebody broke into our home, I think this is the only thing that would actually save my life. The couple, who recently appeared on the latest UK Celebrity Big Brother series have caused outrage over the comments. "With the recent shooting deaths of model Reeva Steenkamp and country singer Mindy McCready, the dangers of keeping guns at home are all too obvious," Peter Squires, professor of criminology and public policy at Brighton University told The Daily Star. The suggestion by Speidi is crass attention-seeking behaviour. Let's face it, neither of them were near the front of the queue when brains, decorum or thinking skills were being handed out. It's not the first time guns have landed the pair in trouble. In 2010, Costa Rican authorities detained Pratt and Montag after finding two unloaded handguns in their luggage. Pratt was on a jungle retreat at the time and brought the 9mm and 45mm handguns with him for protection.
