re: An excerpt from your article:
Big Government socialists are not welcome in Texas, so if that’s your political belief system, please stay in Collapsifornia. If you don’t own guns and gold, in other words, you probably won’t fit in.
I think the author is a bit naive. If he really thinks an overwhelming majority of Texans own guns, he's probably wrong. At best, I'd bet that the majority of RURAL Texans own guns. And maybe that a majority of Texas FAMILIES own guns. If he really believes that Big Government liberals are in low supply throughout the state, he's apparently never been to Southern Texas. As you can see from the map below, significant areas of the Southern state voted for Hillary in 2016.
As for most Texans owning gold, well:
Long-time gold watcher Michael J. Kosares, who’s headed USAGOLD-Centennial Precious Metals since 1973, believes that even three percent might be too high. He wrote in an October 2011 special report entitled “Alternative Misery Index drives gold demand” that:
The number of people who actually own investment gold in the United States is miniscule when compared to those who own stocks — no matter what the polls say. 34% of Americans say gold is the best long-term investment, but how many of that 34% actually own it in the form of coins and bullion? No one has that figure, but my guess would be less than 1% (of the total population) and I doubt I am all that far from the truth. Compare that with the number of people who own stocks — 10% of the population reportedly owns 85% of the stocks.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months
