Another death penalty fiasco; Firing squad the alternative?

An Arizona prisoner took 2 hours to die after being injected with drugs. This latest fiasco is another nail in the coffin of the death penalty.  The abolitionist approach of going after the drug supply is causing problems for the states.  Some are starting to recommend the firing squad (available in Utah) as the best alternative. This source  is also a good Q &A column.

    I'm no doctor, but I've gone through major surgery. In my ignorance I'd suggest, first, a general anesthetic. This would be followed by some sort of poison as suggested by a medical professional. Whatever drug(s) slow the heartbeat to zero would suffice.
