If you are to be executed, you are going to be incarcerated.

The problem isn't being able to lose rights permanently, the problem is the grading of offenses.


If you really want to return to how it was with the Founding Fathers, we would have to return to having execution as an option for ANY felony. Stealing a chicken and stealing grapes were executable offenses, and yes, people were executed for such here.


Stripping people of their rights was actually the more humane thing instead of just executing them or jailing them for life. As grading of minor and victimless crimes has slowly ramped up, the harshness of of execution/life in prison was replaced with stripping of rights.

But sure, lets play this game. Illegally dump some garbage in a number of states. Penalty - death. Mistakenly not see the cop flagging you down to pull over, felony fleeing - death. Steal more than $200 of goods in some states - death. Violate some antiquated law hidden in book from colonial period - death.
