      Because the US's enemies did it. Obviously it's more noble to torture people to death.

      Generally speaking we've preferred to use it for enemy soldiers with other forms of execution for civilians. It's why it's important that the nazis were hanged and not shot. Fun fact about us hanging nazis was the executioner probably intentionally made the trap door too small so that the nazi scum would bash their faces on the way down.

      I wonder if it might be harder on the executioner or something. I'd rather get shot I guess also but if the bullet misses the heart you die slowly from blood loss there's really no good option

          Utah had gun executions they maybe still do with 5 shooters and a random one has blanks with a target on the person's heart. They didn't all die quick is all I'm saying
