Shotguns are more effective, faster, more humane, and guaranteed. But the chair gives a layer of "isolation" from the executioner. Solution: Rube Golberg style shotgun.
The problem is that all the people involved are scared of looking messy. They associate barbarism and the evilness of the act based on how much cleaning up it requires. So guns are super bad, chairs are up there, and the "clean, instant" injection is humane and neutrally wonderful.
Its a complete nonsense of bureaucrats trying to pretend they are human, and guys happy to murder all your children in their forever wars acting like they are too good to kill a felon. There is no logic behind it.
Rope is reusable, environmentally friendly, and leaves no mess. It's the preferred method of execution by the most civilized country on the planet, Japan.
We literally have the idea of not standing by the gallows because this is entirely untrue. People void themselves while being hung and it goes everywhere. You can probably find a large enough diaper to absorb it at this point in the universe, but that's still very rough to both put on a grown adult and then take off.
And honestly, with the risk of failure the rope has of not breaking the neck, its the same "could probably go wrong and just leave them to die horribly over a couple minutes" problem as injection has.
Bullets cost almost nothing and have a high chance of working just fine, and if it fails you can immediately use another until it does. If we are going to kill someone, we need to accept the mess and just be men about it.
Agreed, and to take it back to the injections, I'd say watching someone convulse in agony strapped to a table is probably just as horrifying as anything even if its technically "cleaner."

They always hide behind the comfort of the witnesses, I say if your going to be squeamish then maybe a public execution isn't the place for you.
