It wont matter if the death penalty is never carried out as long as people are committed to armed self defense.
Knowing that there are people waiting in darkened houses with loaded guns is a much more effective deterrent than any death penalty. You wont spend 20 years on death row if you break in here. And you wont get off easy because youre a retard or a disadvantaged youth. You will taste the boomstick, one and all.
Florida has a de facto death penalty for hot burglaries which is why we have a lot less of them than England. Same goes for carjackings. When we instituted unlicensed in-car carry, carjackings dropped off the chart almost overnight. Same goes for rape, armed robbery, pretty much everything we think of as bad. Fear of swift death at the hands of your victim goes a long way towards reducing crime.
This isnt about "government killing citizens"- this is society removing evil men from its midst. If individuals are allowed to defend themselves with lethal force against such men, surely all individuals grouped together can impose the same penalty. If we tolerate such transgressions we encourage them.
