Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) took aim at Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D-CA) signing of gun control measures to raise taxes on guns and ammunition by encouraging Golden State gun makers and gun owners to "make the 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!" Noem said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
She added the website link "FreedomWorksHere.com" for Californians to click on.
Noem has been on an active marketing push for workers to come to South Dakota for jobs.
Her social media post on Wednesday was in response to the California governor's signing of a law on Tuesday to double taxes on guns and ammunition, making the state the only state to have a special tax on gun purchases. The new law, AB28, is adding an 11% excise tax on top of the federal government's excise taxes of around 10%.
Newsom said he plans to use the tax revenue to invest in "gun violence prevention" and to improve security at schools.
