South Dakota governor invites California gunmakers and owners to relocate.
Gov. Kristi Noem Encourages California Gun Makers and Owners to Move to South Dakota
“Why live in a state where your 2nd Amendment rights are infringed? South Dakota’s firearms industry is thriving. If you’re a California gun manufacturer or law-abiding gun owner, @SDGOED is ready to help you make the move!”
Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) took a direct shot at Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) recent signing of gun control measures aimed at raising taxes on guns and ammunition. In a bold move, Noem urged gun makers and owners in California to consider relocating to South Dakota, where their rights would be respected.
Noem, who has been actively promoting job opportunities in South Dakota, made her statement on the popular social media platform, formerly known as Twitter. She even provided a website link, ”FreedomWorksHere.com,” for interested Californians to explore.
The governor’s response came after Newsom signed a law to double taxes on guns and ammunition in California, making it the only state with a special tax on gun purchases. The new law, AB28, imposes an additional 11% excise tax on top of the existing federal taxes.
Newsom justified the tax increase by stating that the revenue would be used for ”gun violence prevention” and enhancing school security. Additionally, he signed a law that restricts the carrying of concealed weapons in public, completely overhauling the state’s regulations.
Noem’s support for former President Donald Trump has been evident, as she endorsed him at a recent campaign rally in South Dakota. Trump reciprocated the endorsement, emphasizing its significance. Speculation has also arisen about Noem potentially being Trump’s running mate if asked to be vice president.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Newsom has been mentioned as a potential Democratic contender in the 2024 election if President Joe Biden decides not to run. Meanwhile, House Republicans have initiated an impeachment inquiry into Biden, with the first public congressional hearing conducted by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.
South Dakota’s governor, Noem, continues to make waves with her outspoken support for gun rights and her efforts to attract businesses and individuals to her state. With her latest call to California gun makers and owners, she is making it clear that South Dakota is open for business and ready to welcome those seeking a more favorable environment for their Second Amendment rights.
