Pence Proposes Federal Expedited Death Penalty for Mass Shooters, Sparks Debate on Effectiveness

Vice President Mike Pence has called for a quick death penalty for mass shooters. During a live debate, Pence stated that if elected president, he would ask Congress to pass a "federal expedited death penalty" for those involved in mass shootings. However, some critics argue that many mass shootings already result in the shooter's death, and that Pence's proposal is unnecessary. Others support the idea, suggesting that public executions could be added to make it even more effective. There is also speculation about whether Pence was implying that it was Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's fault that the Parkland shooter did not receive the death penalty. Overall, Pence's proposal has sparked a debate about the effectiveness and necessity of the death penalty in addressing mass shootings.
