Just use a dentist’s nitrous oxide setup. Slowly reduce the oxygen feed while increasing the nitrous. A few minutes on pure nitrous will kill anyone, quietly.

Seems like it would be fairly easy to have a machine or device fire multiple simultaneous rounds. One switch or button could fire them all. You could even have a timer so no direct human intervention would be required.

Agreed. Carbon monoxide would also work well, although the environmentalists would complain.

The liberals have no problem withholding food and water from critically ill people for convenience.
Just stop feeding and watering the murderer and check his cell once a week until he’s croaked off.

This judge is a genius. I have some candidates in mind guilty of treason. Does he want the list?

The Japanese hang their condemned and do not give advance notice to the day of the event. One day, the family of the executed person is told to come pick up the body.

I’d strap him down with one free hand for the shringe in it then play a full volume looping audio of Hillarys’ cackle until he suicides.

I still entertain the idea, of Old West technology,
namely, 8 lever action rifles, chambered in the
best calibers for such rifle actions: .44-40,
.357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .454 Casull,
.45 Long Colt, .45-70 Government, and
.500 Alaskan.

Blank loadings do not need adapters. These
rifles are ambidextrous, in this purpose. The
projectiles will do as designed, even if plain
lead. If distance to target is discussed, a .45-70
projectile, is still dead on at 80 yards, as shown
on youtube by hickok45, while firing a guide gun.

A basic law of physics, one of Newton's Three Laws: For every action force, there is an equal but opposite reaction force. To propel a bullet out of a barrel at 2,400 fps takes a tremendous force. The equal and opposite reaction force required by Newton (perhaps minus a little to cycle the rifle or diverted by a muzzle brake, compensator, etc.) is the recoil. No bullet, no recoil.

Oh, you can play games: you can send out some wadding or something similar, not use a muzzle brake, etc., but it won't feel like you've fired a real bullet - unless they've repealed the laws of physics in the last 30 years unbeknownst to me, or have invented some really clever device that delivers a reaction force without an accompanying action force (IOW, repealed the laws of physics). I've fired hundreds of blanks. Never felt the slightest hint of recoil.

Not sure I’m seein’ the problem here.

Wasn't the botched execution in Oklahoma, not Arizona?

“botched execution”

Is that even possible?

Oops, my bad...My tagline explains the error on my part.

Long ago (1964) I shot live ammo and blanks at ROTC summer camp. Yes, there is a big difference. With a live round the bullet totally blocks the barrel of the rifle, occluding the lands as well as the grooves of the rifling, meaning the propellant applies a huge amount of force to drive the bullet down the barrel. Under the laws of physics, that force goes both forward and backwards, causing the recoil. With a 30-06 or a .308 that recoil can be quite substantial. OTOH, with a blank there’s only a bit of packing at the front of the cartridge case that the charge easily sends down the weapon’s barrel; thus, little or no recoil.

Absolutely!

Exactly, I read up to “...and died” and figured I had the important information. Mission accomplished.
