Production of lethal injection drug ends

I just wonder what would death penalty states do if lethal injection is one day declared unconstitutional or simply there won't be a way to carry it on? Back to old sparky?

I don't understand why death penalty states don't simply go back to hanging or shooting....isn't that a lot easier?

As far as I know, Illinois and Oklahoma are technically retaining electric chair if lethal injection is ever declared unconstitutional (although in IL it may not be a case anymore soon). Firing squad is retained in Oklahoma, if both (injection and electrocution) are declared unconstitutional.

New Hampshire law states hanging should be administered if "lethal injection cannot be given".

As of others, let's assume lethal injection is now either declared unconstitutional or there is simply no way to administer, as the law states. Would you see other states going back to their old methods? Electric chair ressurection?

Also, on a side note, gas chamber is U.S. invention, Germans weren't original

Probably worth noting that North Carolina has had a de facto moratorium on capital punishment for a few years now because the state's medical board has banned physicians from participating in executions.

During the 1990s, Florida Medical Lobby strongly opposed replacing electrocution for a sole reason, that lethal injection requires physicians assistance.
