Interestingly, if the duel were between him and his ex-wife, under 15th century German law, he would have to fight in a waist deep hole with only a wooden club. 

The woman gets to stay on the ground, armed with a rock in a scarf. 

Anything the US can do, Europe has already done weirder :lol:

Stop obsessing over him.

Hard to say that when his cult like followers treat him like a god. One criticism and they lose their heads ready to spill blood.

I don't have a problem with two people 'dueling' if both parties consent and sign paperwork attesting to that consent. To the death is extreme, but a fight until someone yields? Why not? Heck, you could even televise that **** and people would pay to watch. Especially if
(blunted) melee weapons were used to distinguish it from MMA and other fighting sports.

Technically dueling doesn�t have to be to the death, nor does it have to involve weapons. There has got to be a way for this to happen.

I thought dueling was already banned when Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton. Guess not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel#Legislation

In 1839, after the death of a congressman, dueling was outlawed in Washington, D.C.[40][41] A constitutional amendment was even proposed for the federal constitution to outlaw dueling.[42] Some US states' constitutions, such as West Virginia's, contain explicit prohibitions on dueling to this day.[43] Other US states, like Mississippi until the late 1970s, formerly had prohibitions on dueling in their state constitutions, but later repealed them,[44] whereas others, such as Iowa, constitutionally prohibited known duelers from holding political office until the early 1990s.[45]

A Kansas man has asked the Iowa District Court to allow him to fight his ex-wife, or her lawyer, with a sword duel 

I dont think i would challange my brother in law since he's a fencing master. I did fence when i was younger though.
