In response to the sweeping gun ban recently signed into law by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, the governor of a neighboring state has released a video inviting Colorado companies in the firearm and ammunition business to “move back to America.”

In the video, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte expressed his belief that gunmakers should quickly abandon Colorado and move north to Big Sky Country.

“Last week, the Democrat governor of Colorado signed into law one of the most restrictive gun bans ever adopted in the United States,” Gov. Gianforte said in the video. “The law bans the manufacturing and selling of semi-automatic firearms. This is on top of the liberal state’s existing ban on high-capacity magazines. That’s just crazy.”

Gianforte stressed in the video that Colorado has turned its back on gun owners and the Second Amendment. But he wants gun manufacturers to know that his state has taken just the opposite approach.

“If you needed another sign that Democrat governors are out of touch with reality, well, here it is,” he said. “Colorado is ranked in the top 10 states with the biggest gun industries. So, to all gun manufacturers in Colorado, my question for you is simple. Do you want to move back to America?”

Gianforte wrapped up the video appeal by touting his state’s credentials concerning gunmakers and protecting the Second Amendment.

“Montana is open for business and home to more than 150 firearms and ammunition manufacturers,” he said. “It’s the highest per capita in the entire country. We are a constitutional carry state that has enacted laws outlawing discrimination against gun and ammunition manufacturers. In Montana, we embrace freedom and the free enterprise system. Come on home to America. Right here in Montana.”

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Gov. Gianforte pointed out just how egregious the new Colorado law is.

“Our Second Amendment is very clear,” he said. “It says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. This bill outlaws some of the most popular firearms used for sporting and self-defense. It’s a violation of the Second Amendment.”

Along with the video appeal to Colorado gun and ammo companies, Gov. Gianforte also phoned a handful of companies to invite them to come north for a visit.

“When this came out—this announcement—I personally cold called six Colorado firearms companies,” he told Fox News Digital. “Five of them, the five I’ve spoken to so far, are all planning visits to Montana.

“My message to them was pretty simple. ‘See what’s going on in Colorado? Do you want to move back to America? Because Montana is open for business, and we would welcome you here.’”
