Worried that it will be unable to get the drugs it needs to carry out an execution by lethal injection, Mississippi lawmakers are thinking about adding firing squads, electrocution, and the gas chamber as execution methods, The Associated Press is reporting.

House Bill 638 is a response to lawsuits filed by "liberal, left-wing radicals," said House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, a Republican, the AP says.

The bill cleared the Mississippi House 74-44 Wednesday (Feb. 8) and will now go the state Senate for more debate. As is the case in Louisiana, lethal injection is Mississippi's only current legal execution method.

The state is being sued over the drugs it uses, citing constitutional prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment.


I say sack up if you do the crime and go out with the firing squad.

Utah brought back the firing squad and it has saxes them lots of money.

Is it any more brutal than other forms of death penalty? It's short and quick.

I'm fine with firing squad and hanging.

Gas chamber has its own issues with regards to upkeep and personnel that you don't really have with a gallows or firing squad.

Short, quick, cheap, effective. More humane than the other processes like electrocution.

A tall building would be the cheapest option.

Especially since the left wants to implement shariah law by bringing in all of these muzzys.

I only wonder how the left will feel when every woman looses their rights, LGBT's are killed and the right to free speech and to protest the government is met with death.

I'm more humane than you guys. I say we strap them in a chair with a button at their fingertips that will trigger a large caliber shot to the brain. Then pipe in this music 24/7 at about 100 decibels until they commit suicide:

Watch at your own risk

Firing squad seems like it would get rough on the triggermen. You need something like a chair that holds the person in place, has a firearm pointed at the brain stem for instant death, or even a hydraulic piston like for cows. Knock the prisoner out prior too with an injection and the have the actual moment of firing randomized. Also have 2 people push the button to start the countdown so nobody knows who actually did it. Other than the cost of the machine it would be very cheap

I would choose firing squad.

Standing tall, cigarette in mouth.

It's classy.

If you are gonna put someone to death, might as well do it cheaper. As long as it's still humane.
Makes sense.
