(SD) Noem signs bill wiping away fees for concealed gun permits

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi iNoem on Tuesday signed a bill to wipe away state and county fees for concealed firearm permits.

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 State’s office will reimburse counties for the revenue they will lose from being unable to collect permit fees.

Circa 1876 when gold was discovered.

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

5. Anyone they shoot in their state is likely to be a relative, friend, or someone they know.

I believe the murder rate by gun is highest in red states. Picking off those voters one by one.

They're white supremacist gangs.

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.
