YES PLEASE
Watching a pair of these gormless fuckos stab themselves to death on CSPAN would be the highlight of the year.
This is the USA where dueling involved firearms and there was never much of a dueling culture centered around swords/rapiers. Although it's a lot less deadly with muskets that couldn't hit shit and I for one welcome politicians blowing each other away with modern firearms. Infact, I suggest this law require the use of Glock 18C machine pistols for maximum carnage.
Have an insanely skilled marksman as a manchurian candidate simultaneously goad 80 senators into challenging him. Mow them down and declare a worker's republic. This is how the Comintern planned to enact the Black Belt Thesis.
Blanquism but actually fun
Dueling is a net gain for every society that allows it. It removes half of the people chuddy enough to duel
Is this a joke? Dueling is the complete repudiation of justice. Instead of right or wrong being determined in a courtroom, are you seriously proposing that right or wrong be determined by whoever has better hand-eye coordination? Advocating for dueling as a mechanism to resolve disputes is actually ableist. Are disabled people simply supposed to lose every single conflict?
It removes half of the people chuddy enough to duel
Apologies for my crude language, but this makes zero fucking sense. When you challenge someone to a duel, you are not politely asking them for a duel, you are slapping them in the fucking face. Yes, hold on, let me just allow this jackass to slap me in the fucking face and bully me around.
When you reject a duel, you lose face. This is how dueling works. Dueling is not a matter of being "chuddy enough to duel", dueling is a matter of protecting your dignity.
We already have a mechanism for determining who is right or wrong in a dispute. They're called courts, and even though they aren't perfect, they are infinitely better at providing justice than the complete repudiation of justice that dueling is.
Dueling should stay illegal.
Is this a joke?
Pretty obviously, yes
[four paragraph effortpost]
This can also be answered by the answer to your first question.
A neo-Nazi slaps an antifascist activist in the face and challenges him to a duel. Would it be "chuddy" for the activist to accept?
It would be pretty stupid, so I guess, yeah?
This bill is solely about dueling in the Missouri State Senate, and is only backed by Republicans. If Republicans in Missouri want to shoot each other, I wholeheartedly encourage them to do so. Dueling in this case is not about "justice" or "right/wrong" but about the subhuman pondscum that becomes Republican state senators being too fucking angry to do useful politics and instead resort to slapfights against each other.

Being willing to kill someone because they disrespected you, to save face, or protect your dignity seems very chuddy to me.
Dueling for senators
Its dueling for them... it's not mandatory for prisoners and school teachers to do shit like that
Let these politicians go... let them tarry... let them sink or let them swim, they don't give a damn for us so why should we for them?
We already have a mechanism for determining who is right or wrong in a dispute. They're called courts
Courts are for whether what they did was illegal. Your partner doesn't have to break the law to be worthy of divorce. I think you are off base in the assertion this has anything to do with justice. Contract disputes don't need duels, traffic violations don't need duels, victims of violence and robbery don't need duels. Imagine if you cheated in a duel and the plaintiff had to duel you because of it.
Dueling is a stupid game for stupid prizes. If you duel over an attractive person or because the moderate wing of fascism is annoying then your play for dignity is the subject of my ridicule. Dueling for disputes about the color of cages in amerikkka is funny. The congress of a fascist state catabolizing itself is good actually.

Time to start a GoFundMe for the Liberal Driller so he can move to Missouri
That Prius driver in Florida that went John Wick on a Republican politician that decided to shoot at him during a road rage incident? DNC should hire him and create a drill team of professional duelists on retainer.
How can I know my senator actually believes the positions he campaigns on, unless he puts his life on the line to defend it. People really don't care about democracy anymore.
Let them fight
Dueling should be legal, and if it becomes legal I'm making tinder but for duels.
tinder but for duels.
immediately reminded me of this:
Tangentially, I really wanted the Zucc/Musk fight to happen. I also wanted the battle of the sons debate. If you're going to get impunity in your reign of terror, being a spectacle of ridicule is a good trade.
This would be one way to get rid of all the 1000 year old Bloodfeasts in US politics
i had to check whether this was an article published in 2024 or 1824
While you were out partying, I was studying the blade.
No really, let this happen. Bring back dueling as long as both parties consent. Only macho idiots would agree to duel and they'll do the job of bashing the fash for us.
Time to become a Missouri state senator
Swords only so the chance of a double KO is higher
Weak shit, there should be daily parliamentary brawl like in taiwan
Additionally under the new laws, any representative managing to keep a filibuster going for one full hour will be automatically granted the title of sword saint, and will be legally required to give up their earthly possessions, desires and even their names to take up the life of a wandering vagrant teaching Future Leaders of America clubs all over the country the way of the blade.
This is pretty smart tbh, Republicans all look like they could definitely throw down pretty hard while Democrats are the most limp flaccid humans I've ever seen
Republicans all look like they could definitely throw down pretty hard
Lol Lmao
When you get your news from Ben Garrison's Trump drawings
more like GO down [on their dad] while hard.
boom, gottem.
