Why don't we do this already? The cost of a box of ammo? $50 for a good box of 250 full metal jacket .45 cal rounds. That averages to 20 cents a prisoner, as opposed to over a million to keep them in prison for life (since most people in prison are repeat offenders or lifers anyways). In case you're wondering, I'm absolutely serious. The US has the highest prison population by far of any country in the world. That's definately a problem. I think we could all agree that the world would be a better place if rapists, murderers, and child molesters were dead.

Because it's against the US law to execute for child molestation ain't it?
Also I'm an unpublished (haha you laugh) novelist of mainly sci fi fantasy.
Having the death penalty works excellently in my fav novel I wrote for every bad reason you can imagine.
Once the hero of the book kills his very first enemy. He knows it's the death penalty when/if he is caught. So he carrys a gun at all times, he will never be taken alive, he will kill anyone who tries to arrest him.
The death penalty has thereby encouraged fanatical resistance by him and every person like him. Also endless revenge upon the state officials who carry out the death penalty.
Welcome to a hellish word of mass murder, killing of innocents and infamous reistance towards the Police and State forces
