Arguments against a firing squad include the potential for a painful death and the visibly violent nature of this execution method, which can be traumatizing. Anesthesiologists have stated that a painless death by firing squad isn’t guaranteed. Depending on where the bullets strike, an inmate could remain conscious for up to 10 seconds, experiencing severe pain, especially related to bone shattering and spinal cord damage.
Critics argue that executions by firing squad are visibly violent and bloody compared to lethal injections. This can be potentially traumatizing for victims’ relatives, witnesses, executioners, and staff involved in the aftermath.
Some legal professionals consider the firing squad to be a brutal method of execution that violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
