Idaho has opened a new execution chamber featuring firing squad, becoming the seventh state to adopt this method of execution. More U.S. jurisdictions now allow death by gunfire than at any previous point in American history. The trend is moving toward firing squads, not away from them.
States are actively adopting firing squad execution as other methods face legal challenges or supply problems. The increase—now seven states with explicit firing squad protocols—shows a deliberate return to a method most democracies abandoned. It's not a legacy practice states inherited; it's a method they're choosing now.
