Firing squads would be the official execution method of the State of Florida if one lawmaker gets his way.

Representative Brad Drake is filing legislation to ban lethal injection and make death row inmates choose between a firing squad death or the electric chair.

“I am bemused and baffled at the number of people who calibrate their scales of justice in favor of the criminal above the victim. I just don’t understand it,” said Drake.

The legislation comes as companies in European countries that produce the drugs Florida uses to execute prisoners have stopped selling to the state.
