WATCH: Red state gov urges firearms makers to ditch Colorado amid its anti-gun push

Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte is inviting gun manufacturers and sellers to move to Montana from Colorado after Democrats there passed one of the nation's most restrictive gun laws.

"Our Second Amendment is very clear. It says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," Gianforte told Fox News Digital. "This bill outlaws some of the most popular firearms used for sporting and self-defense. It's a violation of the Second Amendment."

Gianforte has helped spearhead greater protections for gun owners and sellers in his state, including through making Montana a constitutional carry state and through the passage of a law that prohibits law enforcement from enforcing federal firearm bans or regulations that infringe on Americans' Second Amendment rights to possess, transfer or use any firearm, magazine or firearm accessory.
