This bill adds a new state law declaring that certain federal gun regulations—including taxes on firearms and ammunition, registration requirements, and possession restrictions—are unconstitutional infringements under South Dakota and U.S. law. The law applies only to regulations adopted after January 1, 2021, and only affects otherwise law-abiding residents. South Dakota is essentially stating that it will not enforce these types of federal gun control measures within the state.
