BTW I am against capital punishment because:

It takes too long and the person the state winds up killing is no longer the same person
who murdered somebody 10 or 20 years earlier.

It is hard on the victims families and friends with all the delays and stuff.

It costs more to execute somebody then to give 'em life w/no parole.

Too many people on death row have been found to be innocent.

But if we are going to have the law on the books just shoot 'em. It is 100% effective, quick, and painless
why mess around with all the lethal injection stuff?
