Missouri Rule Change Would Allow Senators to Challenge Each Other to a Duel

Missouri rule change would allow senators to challenge each other to a duel
The rule change was proposed by Senator Nick Schroer.www.newsweek.com
Dueling is an old tradition. I think Andrew Jackson was involved in a few duels. Alexander Hamilton was killed in a duel.
Thankfully, duels have since been outlawed, but now someone wants to bring it back.
So, they get to choose weapons. They could choose pillows and have a pillow fight, I suppose.
It seems there's been a bit of a row in the Missouri legislature.
I see this as yet another indication of the overall growing insanity, but I suppose our culture has had a certain fascination with dueling - at least as sometimes portrayed in popular culture. Like the gunfighters of the Old West or the heroic knights battling it out with swords. Being the home of Jesse James, I suppose Missouri has its own history in that regard.
Not that I have any room to talk about Missouri, since my own state has its issues. But still, this is just insane.
Can you imagine the epitaph of the loser of a duel for leadership of the Senate?
"Second-fastest draw in America."

If Trump was shot and killed he'd still claim he won.

Another indicator that the GOP is so regressive that they don't want to go back to the '50s but the 1850s.Missouri rule change would allow senators to challenge each other to a duel

Is this how they plan on cleaning house?

That would draw innocent people into it. What about a nice game of Chess or GO, or, if it has to be physical, tennis?
2 dueling politicians would inevitably
result in 1 less bonehead in government.

If enough republicans duel themselves out of office so that only democrats are remaining, yes.
I think they should have a football game. Instead of actually doing violence against each other, rivals might engage in some sort of game or athletic contest as an alternative.
