Utah to reintroduce firing squads

Quote:

Lawmakers in Utah have proposed resuming the use of firing squads to carry out the death penalty if lethal injections drugs are not available.

Personally I'm against the death penalty full stop but is a firing squad humane and effective for both the executed and the executioner(s) ?



Seems that Utah isn't the only state pushing for the use of firing squads:

Quote:

The Utah bill is one of many being debated across the country. This year Arkansas lawmakers introduced legislation to allow firing squads. In Wyoming, a measure to allow firing squads if the lethal drugs are not available failed to pass the legislature.
