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.
eh, the proud tradition of the senate involves beating the shit out of an unarmed man with a walking stick. i support these fuckers taking turns on each other.
