Duels

[Weezer]

I'm all about allowing open fistfights on the floor of the House and Senate like you see in Israel and Taiwan.

C-Span would gain a whole new audience.

If we're going to discuss dueling, can we also discuss doing away with death row in favor of gladiator matches?

I’m for it ... loser gets a free burial , winner gets to go on to the next match . Like a round robin without the losers bracket . Grand champion gets to go home . Pay per view , all proceeds go into a pot and gets divided up among the states at the end of the year and is earmarked for infrastructure , free education and healthcare . 75% of our current problems will be solved

Should we bring back duels? Two consenting adults. Our bodies our choice. Discuss.

FTR, I am pro-dueling

We could rid ourselves of liberals pretty quickly. My guess is we wouldn't have to actually shoot

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

I vote Yes . The only weapons allowed, AR15 assault rifles.

No such thing

Burr shot Hamilton in the hip bone and it ricocheted and hit several major organs. His doctor, who stood nearby with others who had their backs turned to the duel later said when he rushed to Hamilton all he said was "doctor this is surely a fatal shot" or something like that and passed out.

Later, they managed to awaken him in the boat headed for shore, and he saw his pistol sitting outside the dueling pistol box...he said " be careful , doc...that pistol is cocked but has not yet discharged. As I said before the match, I had no intention of firing a shot."

Burr claimed that Hamilton fired and missed, then burr shot him. It looks to many like Burr simply shot Hamilton, and as he fell to the ground he shot a round up into the bottom of a tree limb some 13 or 14 feet above Burr, and 5 paces to his right (Burrs left). Apparently. Hamilton didnt even remember his gun firing...or in his dying state he was super worried about a coverup...which seems highly unlikely. Burr had told everyone heading up to the match that he intended to kill Hamilton..and when he was told that Hamilton had died from a shot to the hip, he said "I wish I would have hit him in the head."

Edit...Hamiltons son Phillip had been killed in a duel right next to where this duel took place, on the previous year. Bad JuJu .

Moral of the story: If you do get into a duel, make sure it is with a Hamilton

Before or after he was a vampire killer?

That was actually a good movie.

If two adults are stupid enough to do it, then I'm all for the herd to thin itself.

Yeah but remember, you wouldn't be allowed to sue them if you lost.

It's going to turn to highway robbery soon.

We will only let you pass if you pay us to show support of our cause. Or else we draw a gun on you.

This tweet is a perfect encapsulation of modern "two stupid assholes are doing the exact same crap but I've chosen which stupid ******* I'm standing with" America.
