[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1550534, member: 14668"] I am personally opposed to the death penalty, but if our justification for using it is for its deterrent effect on crime then you are correct we need to make it public. We also need to get over ourselves and quit being so guilty and squeamish. Use a firing squad, or else do it like the Chinese do with a bullet to the back of the head. The idea of loading one or more of the rifles with blanks in order to relieve guilt is a joke, since anyone with any real shooting experience can tell by the the recoil (or lack thereof) whether the round they just fired was live or a blank. The bottom line is that if we deem it morally acceptable for our society to kill people in the name of "justice" then we need to put on our big boy pants and do it properly or else not do it at all. And as a completely separate issue, why is it that we as a nation are incapable of manufacturing a basic pharmaceutical compound such as Sodium Pentathol that has been around since the 1940's?
