“Mr. Ledford proposes that the firing squad is a readily implemented and more reliable alternative method of execution that would eliminate the risks posed to him by lethal injection, his lawyers said in court papers filed Thursday.”
This is stupid Three drugs are used in lethal injection. Sodium thiopental is used to induce unconsciousness, (no pain), pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) to cause muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest, and potassium chloride to stop the heart. By the time step two or three happens, the person being executed is already unconscious and unable to feel the results.
I’ve been shot, twice. It hurts, period And more projectiles entering the body than just one hurts more even though the first one will probably cause death. But it takes time even with a head shot. You don’t have the option of being instantly dead after being out cold.
Like I said, stupid.

The animal just relaxes and goes to sleep. No seizures, no struggling, they just go to sleep ... and then die.
Why would it not be the same for humans. Just like going under anesthesia, only you don't wake up.
