South Carolina must have an ammo surplus

The state is adding the firing squad to the list of methods for carrying out death sentences.

The death penalty really isn't a deterrent if they don't use it. Time to reduce the prison population.

South Carolina senators Tuesday added a firing squad to the electric chair as alternatives if the state can't kill condemned inmates with lethal injection.

The Senate then approved the bill on a key 32-11 vote with several Democrats joining Republicans in the proposal which would allow South Carolina to restart executions after nearly 10 years.

South Carolina now has 39 people on death row. They can get the whole thing done in a good year.

That figure compares with 737 on California's death row.
