when we put the death penalty for everything then the poor will not succumb to temptation and turn to crime, but instead they will get one of the millions of available legal jobs and everything will be just fine
reality: if you have high crime, like in the USA for example, it is indicative of a failed system that does not provide for all its citizens and has little to do with guns or drugs or illegals...such harsh rhetoric is also indicative of a failed political system, when you have to resort to calls for violence to win an election...
the other reality problem is: people like to do drugs...demand is not the fault of the supplier...if for example, spoons made you fat its your own fault not the spoon salesmans..."spoons kill" is not accurate...
