QuoteA member of the Missouri Senate has proposed a rule change that, if passed, would allow senators to challenge each other to a duel.

Senator Nick Schroer put a motion to the state's Senate to adopt a rule change allowing state politicians to settle grievances through physicality.

His proposed amendment was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Missouri Senate Democrats. It read: "If a senator's honor is impugned by another senator to the point that it is beyond repair and in order for the offended senator to gain satisfaction, such senator may rectify the perceived insult to the senator's honor by challenging the offending senator to a duel.

This is what comes to mind when I think of challenging someone to a duel.

That may be some of the best legislation to pass through an elected body in 200 years. :thumbsup:

I've always said an armed society is a polite society. I think if AOC, the Somalian from Minnesota, Maxine Waters, Nazi Peolsi, etc... could get smoked for what they say about their colleagues, they just might become a little more reasonable and personable in their rhetoric.

But that's just me.

I guess when I hear dual I think dual to the death, usually over a matter of pride.
