The gallows should be the standard method. With reasonable care and a little rinsing, the rope can be reused numerous times.

States should just with hold food and water for the condemned. According to the left it was such a dignified way to die for Terry Schiavo.

Bullets are cheap.
I’d prefer public hanging, but the public is too squeamish for that.

Have them dig their grave, then shoot them into it.
If that’s cruel and unusual, someone else can dig the grave.

A sentence of death is intended as a punishment for the convicted. Why would methods even matter? I DO NOT favor the death penalty, but if it is imposed; I believe death by a Military Firing Squad is the most appropriate form of execution. Because it has been used for traitors to our Country, and also if the sentence of death is handed down to a convict, and if someone has to be killed to comply with the Government's rulings - then the executioners should represent the authority of the same Government, as members of the U.S. Defense Forces under authority granted to the Commander in Chief!

Nothing like a corpse twisting in the wind for 30 minutes or so to make an object lesson for other would-be killers.
The rope could be sold as souvenirs for a victim's benefit fund.

Gallows, firing squad, injection, sparky, guillotine, etc. The evil monster’s pick. Anything so the inmate can’t drag it through court again.

"Nothing like a corpse twisting in the wind for 30 minutes or so"Or, if the carcass is that of a traitorous politician or judge, it can be left hanging until it rots off. That'll give time for Americans to parade by and spit (or whatever) on it.

Nitrogen gas or a firing squad (if I were forced to choose). Helium is also an alternative if you want leave on a high note.

Merle Haggard was right: “I’m proud to be an Okie . . ..”
We will even use steel bullets instead of lead if the eco/greens want us to.

It works every time. Some will say it’s too brutal. What they mean, is that they don’t like looking at it.
Thinking that injection is painless is an illusion. It is painless only for the onlookers, who fool themselves into thinking that the convict doesn’t suffer.
I’m against the death penalty because I don’t want the government to have the power to kill people openly, but if the death penalty is going to be applied, let it be by firing squad.

I think if I had to choose my method of execution it would be firing squad.
I remember seeing film of German saboteurs executed during the Battle of the Bulge. It appeared they died instantly.

Perry Smith and Dick Hickock were both executed by firing squad in Kansas. That must have been right at the end of using hanging in the U.S.
