Study: SD is the 4th Most Gun Industry Dependent State

A new study says South Dakota is the fourth most dependent on the firearms industry in the country.

That means, among other things, that the state’s economy relies more heavily on the gun industry than most other states.

South Dakota ranked first per capita in both gun rights and gun control contributions to members of Congress.

 The Mount Rushmore State ranked fourth in firearms-related jobs per capita.

 Idaho was the most dependent on the gun industry, Maryland the least.
