Gun groups and Republicans strongly disagree with Noem and Patels comments

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Multiple groups, including gun rights organizations and Republicans, have expressed disagreement with statements made by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and DHS Secretary Alejandro Patel.

According to reports, Noem stated that it was “fundamentally wrong” for protesters to carry guns, even if they possess valid permits. This statement has been met with criticism from various groups, including gun rights advocates.

In a separate incident in Minneapolis, a shooting occurred, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed that carrying a gun during protests is unlawful, regardless of whether an individual holds a permit.

Gun owners’ organizations have responded to discrepancies between statements made by DHS officials and video footage from the scene. The discrepancy has sparked debate among those involved in the issue.

Additionally, former President Donald Trump’s comments on the topic have been criticized by some as justification for violence against protesters.

The controversy surrounding these incidents highlights differing opinions on gun laws and protest regulations.
