Because your life does not belong to you, you're not free to gamble it. It belongs to the state.

...

Because the challenger was always the guy with the biggest proficiency at the selected weapon.

It's like being a black gang banger but with top hats and rules

Because guns eventually became too accurate and deadly.

Because the shadow realm was a legal gray area and it was difficult to sanction it in the judicial system

meanwhile at OP's house

underrated post

the challenged selects the weapon, i believe.

Truth

nearly all the people that used to do it died in ww1 and so the practice got increasingly rarer until it completely disappeared

heartily kek'd, underrated post

Not to sound like a weeb but our politicians dont have honor and there is nothing they are willing to die to defend.
That being said a lot where dueling over petty shit.

First post best post.

Liberty isn't a right anymore.

For medical reasons mostly. Normally it took duelists 2-3 days to die. They'd hog up all the morphine and nurses. Atleast that's why it was banned in Texas.

Secondly, ton's of people were dying that were innocent. A criminal could steal your shit, then challenge you to a duel because you insulted them by accusing them of stealing your shit, then they'd kill you in the duel because you led an honest life and didn't know shit about dueling.

Because there would be "professional duellists" thats would roam around looking for wealth people to "duel," then steal their posessions once they killed them.

The wild west idea that a town would be empty when an outlaw came to town because everyone was hiding was actually based on duellists. Infamous ones would come to town and find people to duel, then rob the deceased.

It was a legal way to rob people.

...

Fucking Yugi you

Isn't this how a lot of the more famous duelists got away with cheating at cards? (until somebody had enough and shot them in the back of the head without warning)

That's a good fucking point. Is it really murder if you wiling know that you could die?

You mean nigs co-opted the idea in their own way

/thread

Because it was often very intellectual persons that died to jealous, less successfull colleagues so this practice was quite hurtfull for scientific or cultural progress
For exemple Alexander Pushkin in op's picture or mathematician Évariste Galois and many others

They should git gud at pvp.

What a fascinating picture! The tension, the two men facing each other, the other lads,watching all of it shrouded by the calm of Winter.

Wouldn't most intentionally miss? Is seemed mostly about showing you where willing to put your life on the line.
I dont believe that. Guns at the time wouldn't be precise enough and even the best would have their luck run out.

Nanny states and I just wanted to post this neat little creature.

>be normal person
>get challenged to a duel
>say "No"

Honestly they should have simply solved all their differences in a game of Chess or a game of Yu-Gi-Oh!, same shit 2bh lad

It just kind of fell out of practice as things do.

People continued doing it long after it was outlawed. I wrote a paper on Aaron Burr at some point during primary school. Shit was neat. At a certain point in it's history it was considered gentlemanly and honorable to aim high, as just showing up for the duel was considered to be enough.

lol why do dumb people romanticize this shit? it's like you've only ever pictured yourself winning at them

WILD BILL WOULD LIKE A WORD WITH YOU

...

Why not only ban duels to the death? Keep it to swords?

Obviously don't accept a challenge unless you think you're going to win.

Yep, and crime in general. And usually their fate was much worse than being shot...

>swords
>not to the death
do you know what a sword is?

get your nigger shit out of here faggot

It was widely used by enemy spies to legitimate murder attempts on people important for nations well being.

And if a person declined the offer he was considered to be dishonored.

Also a simple false-flag could cause this people to kill each other.

dis

this. you are a slave.

Bruh
That's a rare Mongolian spotted ridgeback mini hydra.
If you eat it, it will give you mythical powers to save the world.

>muh cowboy films

Bootlicker detected

they re a waste of precious time that you could instead use to work

this

Shh, don't shatter his weeaboo dreams

...

If dueling was around, all the macho guys would kill eachother, and all you would have left is sissy cuck SJWs running around.
That's why everyone dressed like fops back then.

it was not uncommon for duels to be fought till first blood.

fuuursdttt pooooessst bestttt poohstt XD

Fucking 13 year olds

because guns made it stupid

no hand weapon fistfight, final destination, if you are going to kill a man for private reasons don't pussy out on proxy tools

IT'S TIME

>fistfight
faggot

Not fair then.

This, you know how many nigger problems would be solved in duels if they were still legal.

Dueling should be legal, i don't know why it isn't.

Yupp, pretty much the same reason why drugs are illegal. Just shut the fuck up and keep kicking out boxes at the plant.

If there's one thing in life that you really own it should be the fucking meat on your bones.

This isn't really correct.

It's the governments job to protect your freedoms and liberties. Due to multiple "contract" type violations of granted rights (contract slavery, dueling, companies requiring you to give up your right to vote to work for them, etc) the government made it illegal to enter into contracts that would forfeit any of your constitutionally granted rights.

Imagine if this was legal, and suddenly most companies required contracts that violated your rights in order to work for them, and that became commonplace. Suddenly fewer and fewer people in the country have rights.

You could always have a amateur or pro fight.

Because weak liberal pussies were far too cowardly to duel, so they developed cuck laws against it

> first-blood loses
> make blades longer to make first cut
> make it piercing cuts to hit and go back from the enemy attack sphere
> easiest target to hit is torso
> first blood = first pierce trough internal organs by picrelated

You only duel if you agree to it. Its not like you have to accept a duel. Just say no, then if he murders you, its just murder and you really couldn't have stopped that from happening anyway.

Because it was a thing mostly among noblity. Probably only in America duels were common among pleb masses.

>Guns at the time wouldn't be precise enough and even the best would have their luck run out.
Gun accuracy was fine by then, hell, even smoothbores are fine at duelling ranges.

good channel

it was a fact not a moral prescription

rifling barrels made dueling obsolete

>*teleports behind you*
>"heh, nothing personal kid"

How is this even fair?

>Secondly, ton's of people were dying that were innocent. A criminal could steal your shit, then challenge you to a duel because you insulted them by accusing them of stealing your shit, then they'd kill you in the duel because you led an honest life and didn't know shit about dueling.

Thats retarded. Stealing is illegal and you could just get the police. You don't have to accept a duel. If you want your stuff back go to the police. If you want to settle something thats been ongoing duel them.

My money is on the guy in the brown.

Well one of the reasons was professional duellists.
People who would fight duels or provoke duels for you.

Cause politicians are pussies

you can never be sure noone would die, ppl die from a simple punch to the head. if duels were legal, both must agree, best on paper, that it can end up in death. also challenged chooses weapon, and shoots first, if chooses a gun

How does this justify it being illegal?

it was like one guy dueled another but on the half way he pussied out, but his father was a great leader and he made a law about duels is wrong

A time when men settled their petty differences the manly way possible

my money is on the big man in the dress.

Please don't quote Doug verbatim. It's cringey.

Top hats and rules change everything though.

Why not? It's true.

Still doesn't matter.

What kind of retard risks their life because they were insulted. Just say no if you aren't willing to die. If you are, then whats wrong with fighting a pro dueler.
This is like saying suicide should be illegal.

>iFunny

You gotta be 18 to use this site.

better personal shot =/= logically correct about issues that will affect the masses

lol what basis would you have for thinking you were going to win? what are the odds that you know how proficient with a gun the person challenging you is?

>they actually believe the plots of all those dime novels was real
wow. holy shit.

>implying duels were only for political action
>implying it would be legal to gamble legislation on duels
>implying its better to just scream buzzwords and use ad hom when coming to a political impasse.
What are you even talking about? Its not like dueling would immediately cause senaters to start shooting each other. Even if they did, it wouldn't change anything. You can't make a bet on a duel that says whoever wins gets to pass their legislation moron.

Pretty sure suicide is illegal in some places.

...

Fuck fancypants cuckold aristocrat 'dueling'
Gouging is where its at

whiny hippies/liberals

It required risk and skill

Something globalists have no concept of

Forget dueling, why did we never bring back gladiator fights?
Have the worst criminals like pedos,rapists and murderers fight each other for slightly better food and bedsheets and all that when they are in prison

NO thats definately a Mongolian spotted ridgeback mini hydra, he'd be a fool to let it go and let it be eaten by someone else.

Imagine letting that opportunity pass you by?

In the US it was because we had so many politicians practicing and dying from it

it became a literal epidemic in the middle of the 19th century
