Personally, I think there's more justice and punishment through locking them up for life. It's far worse to watch your life go by knowing you'll never be free than being killed and sleeping through it all, no longer 'paying' for their crime.
If someone murdered a family member of mine, I'd rather the bastard spend the rest of his life locked in a tiny room till death. That way, each day I live with satisfaction, I know that bastard is living his in hell! If he dies, his days in hell ends.
So for me, I'd rather they be locked up for life than out right killed.
But yeah, I am for the death penalty.
I figured you would be against it, in light of your restrictive views of owning personal weapons. Most who want to ban guns also want to ban executions.
I guess you fall into a gray area like I do.. I'm very Progressive, yet 100% for the right to own hand guns out in the open. Most progressives want guns banned.
