I'm all for killing people who have committed those types of offenses, but if I recall, the appeals process leading up to the execution also costs a great deal of taxpayer money. I'm not sure how much it costs relative to staying in prison, just that it's
way more expensive than you'd think. I'll have to Google it.
Again, though, that is all irrelevant. BurtReynolds is saying that we should kill or permanently imprison ANYONE who can't be trusted with firearms. That is impractical and too extreme.
