"...less expensive than the death penalty..."
Only 'cause so much horseshit is folded into the 'process' by way of appeals and humanitarian treatment of the guilty*.
The act itself -- one gun, one bullet, one hand to pull the trigger -- is almost negligible in cost.
One thing, however: the State may 'try and convict', but it should be the aggrieved (family/friends or victim, if he or she lives) who pulls the trigger.
Never lobby for an irrevocability you yourself aren't willing to enact.
In other words: don't clamor for 'death' if you can't deliver it.
*see the latter part of the 'he/she' thread for an example of prison(er) absurdity.
