    As a citizen of Missouri, this is the best legislation I’ve seen in years. Hats off to them for finally doing something that doesn’t directly make my life worse.

        It’s almost guaranteed that they’ll be calling duels only against the democrats we in STL or KC send to the state government. They probably won’t even bother trying to get witnesses to attest a duel was agreed by both sides, they’ll just murder Cori Bush or others for existing and claim a duel was called, then get away with it.

    Alexander Hamilton called out Aaron Burr for defrauding new york city and died in a duel as a result. Aaron Burr was justified having won the duel and used the money to start J.P. Morgan bank and now we all have to pay $30 for being $0.01 overdrawn.

      On the contrary. The duel should be fought only with a rapier. I don’t want Fatty McCorruption Face ® win because the MIC gave him the latest shiny, for helping sell guns to the cartels or whatever.

      They want to duel? They think they have it in them to rectify their “honor” this way? Make them work for it.
