Would you vote for a candidate that promised to do it?

unfortunately while the death penalty could be effective it was misused and the sad truth was they executed a number of people who were innocent of the crime they died for.

besides that , in the long run the death penalty with all it's legal requirements costs more than life in prison in many cases.

A Susquehanna University report found that, on average, across all 50 states, a death row inmate costs $1.12 million more than a general population inmate. In July 2018, there were 2,738 inmates on death row. That's almost $3 billion additional expense than if they had all been sentenced to life in prison instead.

And.... nearly all sentenced to death will die in prison from causes other than execution.

Glad i looked at snopes, i needed a good laugh.

"Mass killings of civilians by military dictatorshipsin the 1900's were more often than not preceded by the confiscation of firearms from targeted populations,a task made easier by laws requiring the registrationand or licensing of privatly owned weapons."

Then the liberal site goes on to split hairs tp make the false claim. That's rich and fake news.

You didn't read much of it did ya, hip?

I read that snopes claims its true, with the exception that some laws were already in place (still a gun law in place) and they couldn't find i direct link to people not having guns to defend themselfs and being over-run and killed. DUHH.

If your not smart enough to see the fake news and their assessment is wrong/biased, that's on you.

Snopes has always leaned far to the left. That was obvious when Obama was in office. They did their best to cover for his miscues by minimizing or flat out denying certain things ever happened.

I just googled “how accurate is Snopes.com”. A number of websites such as Forbes and the Washington Times debunked Snopes as very liberal. Of course, the debunkers probably could also be debunked. So who do you believe? Personally, I would never believe a liberal website.

You are missing the point , like usual !

That's very true there were people executed that were innocent. But, there are some cases where there is no doubt as to guilt such as these mass shootings. With new technologies and DNA screening, law enforcement is getting better all the time at weeding out the innocent.

I agree with life in prison for many, but not for the Ted Bundys of the world. Too dangerous for the chance they might one day be released as was the case of Kenneth Allen McDuff. Somehow he slipped through the cracks and was released only to resume another rape and killing spree before he was once again caught. This time he was executed in a short time as he should have been the first time. If he had been, a number of people might still be alive enjoying life today, not rotting away in a grave.

Death penalty prisoners linger too long on death row. That's why it costs so much to house them.
