“A lawmaker in Wyoming says the state ought to take action now to avoid a constitutional crisis if lethal injection for convicts is ever outlawed and pass a bill to allow for the return of firing squads. Besides, the lawmaker said, firing squads are economically sensible. Sen. Bruce Burns said that right now, state law only allows for a gas chamber to be used in place of a lethal injection, The Associated Press reported. But that causes a dilemma in his mind. Mr. Burns said he brought the matter to the legislative forefront because some states have reported a shortfall of the chemicals that are used in the lethal injection procedure.”
