>Guillotines and decapitation can leave someone in conscious pain for up to 13 seconds
>Firing squads … prisoner is not going to suffer more than a few seconds on average, no more than a minute in the worst scenario
I do not dispute your aim, but I think you're overselling firing squads compared to decapitation. Stories about the decapitated head still responding to stimuli are often overblown. And even if true, even if the brain is still screaming for seconds, it will do the exact same with a heart stopped. The brain will, in fact, take longer to die because there is still a body connected to that head, still muscular contractions that can force blood to the brain and a heart that limps to the finish line. As you say, to die by bullet can take a minute or worse.
Also, if you've ever spoken to someone whose heart has stopped on them, you'll know it's pretty traumatic, and goes on for ages.
What distinguishes a bullet to the heart and a severed head is not compassion, but mess. Decapitation is bloody and messy. A bullet or six, less so, and a poison in the vein even less so. And that's how we rate executions.
What we should do is spontaneous gaseous asphyxiation.

>normies don't care though. They'll support needles over any other method because "they're less barbaric", pat themselves on the back for being such a good person, and then go back to watching their normie TV shows
Absolutely this.
I applaud people's intent in the 60s/70s, but too many executions have gone under the needle and gone wrong for this to be in any way tolerable in a civilised society.
If people cared, they'd go for gaseous asphyxiation every time. Nighty-night, murderous scum. You won't be forewarned, but you just won't wake up tomorrow morning.
I suppose there is the stress of knowing this could happen at any time, but frankly I don't advocate execution for anyone but the most hardened, unrepentant, vile individuals who are so far gone, so determined to vent their anger and violence on the world that no attempt to engender repentance has ever worked. Reprobates, if you like. But, even then, the Spirit of God ought not be underestimated, as the most inconceivably unrepentant individuals have repented and turned to God.
These should never be executed, regardless their crimes.
Anyone prepared to consider they've sinned ought to receive suspending or commutation of the death penalty. Yes, I know they can fake it. But that's why they're not released, just their execution is suspended.
This, to my mind, is what Christ demands of us: accommodation of repentance and compassion on the rest.
