None of this has been about money, it’s all about ego.

I would vote for someone who promised to legalize duels again. Having roughly half as many bloated egos to deal with seems way more manageable.

The survivors would duel, too. We could see even better results than that.

iirc, historically, the practice of dueling eventually died out because "professionals" would go around insulting rich poofs, instigating duels against idiots with more ego than sense for easy $.

More typically they'd go after farmers and merchants since only the elite and soldiers could carry swords and were trained to use them.

Hand the average guy a sword, have him face a trained fighter, and he'll be kebab meat in half a minute.

There can be only one

those one shot, loud and deadly but more to leave a nasty scar and be painful instead of lethal guns

yeah that might make some cowards exposed at the very least

I was thinking chainsaws would be better.

Won't help here tho. Muskrat has already challenged various people to fights then chickened out when they take him up on it.

Half their ego is just money
