If only the Americans had possessed a crystal ball and froze the right to bear arms on 18th century weaponry.
Bit difficult to go on a shooting spree if you need at least 30 seconds to recharge your musket and then only if its a dry day otherwise you powder would have got damp.
Being that the USA is possibly the most Christian country in the world which is supposed to teach forgiveness and good will, that the private citizen and their authorities are equally enthusiastic to kill, kill, kill........sad.

Remote Scottish island. No support. No food. SBS patrolling the waters.
Let them suffer and die, or take a risk and die. Either way they die.
The death penalty might not deter everyone but it will deter some and those it doesn't will be dead. Which is better than what we have now, which clearly isn't working.
Terrorists, child killers and paedos deserve much worse than our prison system offers.

Devil's Island a la Papillon gets my vote.
I don't think the death sentence will ever be a deterrent, just as prison isn't, as I don't think that people who commit these atrocities are in any way normal, they are either psychologically disturbed or have been brought up in such away that they have no respect for authority and other people; either way they have a very heightened self opinion and think of themselves as invincible. What you do putting people in prison is take them out of mainstream society, prisons don't even consider themselves as reformers of their inmates, just a holding tank.
I don't think introducing the death sentence would solve anything, it will just lead to apologies to the families of the innocent people that are executed, a cheap way of dealing with societies ills. Yes put them on the remote Scottish island.
