“The last time Hamilton made fun of a sitting VP”
That is exactly what I found so ironic about all this. My how times have changed.
Careful. Someone may get their eye put out.
A point of interest. Back in the late 1970s or 80s the dueling pistols used between Burr and Hamilton were disassembled to make copies for collectors.
It was found that the pistols had a single “set trigger” to give the shooter a delicate touch when firing.
Some now believe Hamilton set the trigger, then accidentally touched the trigger causing the pistol to prematurely fire before he was on target. Burr then shot him dead.
