No one thought their beef would leave the page, either: In fall 1819, Barron wrote his former friend a letter decrying duels as a "barbarous practice." A couple of months later, they got together and shot at each other. Decatur lost, died.

We see Justices Clarence Thomas and Stephen G. Breyer, who wrote a separate dissent, as seconds. We see 10 careful paces at dawn in that Bladensburg field -- which is still there and has not been turned into a Burger King or something.
Scalia wrote that Stevens made "erroneous" points with "absolutely no evidence." Singe !
Stevens wrote that the majority opinion "tries to denigrate the importance" of a clause in the Second Amendment. Burn!
