The Republican governor brought the proposal this year as a way to both tout her support for gun ownership rights and cut government fees. She initially proposed eliminating state business filing fees as part of the bill, but lawmakers struck that portion from the legislation. They argued it would have created a flood of out-of-state entities applying for business registrations in South Dakota.
It will not cost you a penny to exercise your Second Amendment rights in South Dakota, Noem said in a statement announcing the bill signing.
The bill is estimated to cost the state about $110,000 annually in lost revenue. The Secretary of States office will reimburse counties for the revenue they will lose from being unable to collect permit fees.

Does Kristi want that to be the norm in her state?

Reagan and the Right and the NRA were supportive of gun restrictions when Black Panthers were armed. What might the difference be? I can't quite put my finger on it.
