Boise, Idaho – The Idaho State Senate
passed a bill by a veto-proof majority Monday which would permit execution by firing squad for death row inmates. The option would become available if the state is unable to acquire the drugs needed for lethal injections.
The final vote was
24-11. The Idaho State House
approved the legislation back on March 3 by a 50-15-5 vote, which is also a veto-proof majority.
The bill now goes to Idaho Republican Governor Brad Little’s desk. While Little is a strong proponent of the death penalty, he has not
said whether he will sign the legislation into law.
But even if he issues a veto, Idaho lawmakers have the numbers to override it.

The truth is death by firing squad is arguably the most humane form of execution. Dr. Jonathan I. Groner, a professor of surgery at Ohio State University,
explained to FiveThirtyEight that based on his professional experience, death by firing squad is quicker and causes less suffering than any other form of execution.
There’s pain, certainly, but it’s transient. If you’re shot in the chest and your heart stops functioning, it’s just seconds until you lose consciousness.
Deborah Denno, a Fordham University law professor and death penalty scholar, agrees. She told
NewsNation last year that firing squads are “more humane” than lethal injection because of “efficiency” and “certainty.”
They are more efficient. They’re also more certain.
Death penalty proponents also cannot ignore the number of
botched executions by lethal injection. One
study found that more than one-third of all lethal injections were mishandled just last year.
The risk for execution failures is far lower with firing squads because the individuals involved are trained
marksmen.
Credit to Idaho for making a common sense and humane decision. More states need to follow suit.
Commentary:
These people have been sentenced to death. The ONLY way it ends up in a firing squad is if the lefties make the drugs unavailable to carry out the sentence. Either way, they were found guilty by a jury of their peers and what they did put them on death row. They are going to die one way or another so if Maoist Democrat lefties think the drugs are more humane, then we should remind them that their ideological Russian and Chinese idols still use firing squads or individual executioners to execute their convicted with a 7.62x25 mm or a 9mm Markov bullet fired to the back of the head.
Then they charge the family for the cost of the bullet.
China has been branded the world’s worst executioner as the state kills thousands of people every year using firing squads, lethal injections and mobile death vans. The true numbers of those …
