This is senseless. How about a massive does of freaking morphine? Or Fentanyl? Or a nitrous oxide mask? There are literally hundreds of drugs that a massive OD of would work.

Or a nitrous oxide mask?

I LIKE it (a lot). That way, they laugh their HEADS and the ASSES off. And voila! a guillotine and a gluteo-ectomy in one fell swoop!

The problem with drugs is that even though the drugs are intended to kill the victim they have to be administered by a medical professional.

This is bad for two reasons: 1) doctors shouldn't be in the business of killing people, and 2) the AMA has gone libtard and most doctors are now refusing to cooperate.

It will always be easy to round up enough people to shoot a deserved criminal. It will soon be impossible to round up even one doctor or nurse willing to inject drugs.

Any one of these works just fine with the advantage of economy. One box requires no special handling, and last almost indefinitely.

Drugs on the other hand, even something as simple as Potassium Chloride IV requires medical personnel beyond a doctor making the death pronouncement. A 12ga. slug leaves no doubt as to 'dead right there' observation by anyone.

With a proper backstop the lead slugs can be recovered, re-melted and cast.

The KCl IV is cheap, cheap, cheap with the added advantage of feeling like napalm coursing through the veins as well as being capable of metering, fast or very slow depending on the crime and victim's family preference. That should be on the table instead of the quick and painless if the death penalty is meant to deter others as well as being punishment.

Problem is how to obtain these drugs - the manufacturers have all gone twitterpated as they do not want their product associated with executions. They correctly claim that the products are not approved by the FDA for this indication. Further, a few have filed lawsuits to prohibit such use. So the LEOs would need to break the law by either buying street drugs or diverting pharmacy drugs.

You can suck down a LOT of nitrous oxide and not die.

Actually there are more than a few legal experts that have identified firing squad as the most effective and humane form.
