Some good news for Americans in South Dakota

South Dakota governor Kristi Noem (R.) signed the state's permitless carry bill into law on Thursday.

The bill, SB47, eliminates the state's requirement that residents obtain a permit in order to legally carry a firearm. Instead, so long as a resident is legally allowed to possess a firearm, they are legally allowed to carry it concealed on their person.

Noem said the new law is in line with the country's founding principles and protects South Dakotans gun rights.

"Our Founding Fathers believed so firmly in our right to bear arms that they enshrined it into the Constitution," she tweeted. "This constitutional carry legislation will further protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding South Dakotans."

There, the phrase, "the Second Amendment" is my carry permit" has real meaning.

Actually, we are all born with the right to keep and bear arms, and the Second Amendment is there to prevent the government from infringing on that natural right.
