Okay... Apparently you have to be a LEO, but it must be a good idea since it has the Libs in a tizzy.

Instead of practicing at a shooting range, make your bullets count.

Idaho should auction the firing squad spots.

One .50 round between the eyes will do it, quickly

Is it customary for a head or heart shot? If I was being executed I would take one to the head.

Would they prefer individuals be forced to be on a firing squad?

I firmly believe you should be executed the way you took the life. After all, the murderer didn't think it was "cruel and unusual" when they killed the person.

It's probably more humane than the caustic, toxic shite they use for lethal injection...

We could just use what they use for those “deaths with dignity.”

but only to persons who have verifiably lost a loved one to violence. Those people should get first crack.

I've never understood why we don't give a death row inmate an anesthetic.

Just as an individual would get put to sleep before surgery we should do the same thing to someone getting put to death.

Give the inmate the anesthetic after laying him/her down on a gurney in an outdoor firing range. Next, have a sniper/marksman place a fifty caliber round through the inmates head. Easy peezy lemon squeezy.

Also, I like the idea of the victim's family being able to dispose of the inmate in the same manner that the inmate disposed of his/her victim.

When that .50 hits that melon, zero chance for pain or survival.

I wonder if the volume of applicants to be on the list broke their system

I don’t think most people would derive the joy you presume they would from killing the perp as you suggest.

The family members of the victims should be given priority to be on the firing squad of the perpetrator who murdered or raped their family member.
