If, as people of a conservative mind maintain, it is unconstitutional to force people to buy health insurance, wouldn’t it likewise be unconstitutional to compel them to buy a firearm?

I agree. Except I think in this case you'd have to refer to the state constitution to check for constitutionality.

Depends. Is there a penalty for not buying one? Do they have the government tax services audit and attack and fine you.

Big differences - but I would guess over 90% of SD residents that can legally own a weapon already have one or more.
