      Or cartel runs in and they have a lucrative cash for drugs trade, that they mostly funnel into other states for profit not seeing the irony in any if it…

        the issue with that is that cartels like being paid for their products as much as any business- legitimate or otherwise. Texas won’t be able to pay when we remove them from the US banking system. there’s not enough cash to go around, and they’ll probably have to mint their own currency.

        Which… the Cartel won’t be dumb enough to do business in… which means they’ll have to do business in stuff like gold or whatever else.

            the cartels already have better guns than most texans, so, yeah.

              I mean as of like a year or so ago they were reporting that they still paid 3-4x per AR type variants and 2-3x most handguns and like 5x the price of a 1911 presidente chambered in 38 super. There definitely still is a market.
