So is it that you are against the death penalty, or just that it is taking place in Utah?

Neither.

My post #11 covers an answer.

Neither, just that Gardner choosing the firing squad is based upon Mormon theology and a denial that the Blood of Christ covers all sin.

No, I don’t think that many FReepers object to the death penalty or to traditional methods of use. Maybe some Catholics have the misimpression that the Church opposes the death penalty, but that would certainly surprise many of the Doctors of the Church; it rather reflects the fact that Euroweenies are more likely to become monsignors than otherwise.
