South Carolina lawmakers have passed a bill to allow inmates on death row to be executed by firing squad in the absence of lethal injection drugs.

The Republican-controlled House voted 66-43 on Wednesday to make the electric chair the default method of execution when drugs are unavailable and to offer up the alternative of dying by firing squad.

Death by firing squad is currently allowed in Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Utah, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

Think I’d rather go by firing squad than the electric chair.

Public hangings is the only way to properly execute someone. It is a shame we let that die off

How can there be a shortage of lethal injection drugs when so many are dying from fentanyl?

Lethal injection sucks and is probably the worst way to do it

Do you want the government and twelve ordinary Americans determining life and death? Not me.

The best way would be to get shot in the head while sleeping.

I know you're joking, but the shortage is because suppliers are refusing to sell the drugs out of opposition to the death penalty, or because anti-capital punishment activists are harassing and threatening them. You have a good idea, though. Who could argue that overdosing a prisoner on heroin or fentanyl is cruel or inhumane? They go out feeling on top of the world. The cartels will always supply since the don't oppose death and can't be cowed by threatening phone calls from 30 year old white women.

They won't do this unless they can find bullets that cost $1,000 each. They have to screw the taxpayers somehow and prison/executions are big business.

I like the idea of a firing squad if I were ever to be executed, but does it have to be by center off mass? Can't it be head shots? I can imagine if it's center off mas there is a second of burning

Just put them in a sealed room and pump in some nitrogen. No pain, just go to sleep.

A dynamic punishment program is best. All end in death but the path there is what differs.
Example:
Someone rapes and tortures a child, (whether it results in the child’s death or not) would utilize the most painful form of execution.

And so on….,

I googled if carbon monoxide poisoning is painless, and the top returned items were suicide prevention links and info. Now I guess if I apply for certain jobs or for a security clearance, there's a record of me being potentially suicidal.
