Actually studies have shown that firing squads actually might be more humane than lethal injection. If they screw up the chemicals they are injecting into you (which happens more often than you want to know) it can lead to and extremely painful death.

"This may sound gory, but the limited body of research on death penalty methods suggests that the firing squad is actually a pretty good way to go. A Utah inmate who in 1938 agreed to be gunned to death while hooked up to an electrocardiogram showed complete heart death within one minute of the firing squad's shots. By contrast, a typical, complication-free lethal injection takes about nine minutes to kill an inmate. "
Shoot me pls.
