I find all forms of capital retribution to be barbaric, in addition to having the problem of killing potentially innocent people. Add to that it’s hard to argue that a justice-system can even exist when a prosecutor can just dangle the death penalty over a defendants head if they don’t sign a plea.
-With all of that in mind I’ve always found the idea of a firing squad to be the least unappealing option out of all of the multiple unappealing options. Guns were specifically designed to effectively kill people with hundreds of years of iteration built into them. Our military and our Allies military sometimes even use them to kill children. a skilled shooter and a stationary target can make it quick. -At least, that’s what I can imagine.
