The getting stoned to death in the public square remedy might prove to be cost prohibitive and no punishment at all. Say the suspect lives for another 10 years, anyway you look at it, that is a lot of Mary Jane! 
Need a multi-pronged TOUGH approach, and it WOULD have a noticable affect.
If the perps know that the victims WILL return fire right then and there (takes arrest, trial, waiting for sentencing, possibility for plea bargaining out of the scenario) THAT ALONE would stop a lot of the “wannabees”
And tough prison conditions (or states that have the death sentence) make the professional criminals look elsewhere; the professionals do think ahead and have a strategy to their criminal activity (that’s what differentiates them as professionals) … see my Nevada/Montana evidence above.
of course nothing is going to stop the perp who’s also suicidal himself and wants to go out “in a blaze of glory”

everyone knows that 78.43% of all statistics are just made up out of thin air

Gee, I better not rob or kill somebody at gun point because they may stone me to death or give me the gas chamber.
They don’t have rational common sense thought process’s like we semi normal people do. They are generally on drugs or demented out and are not thinking about ramifications.
I would be in favor of stoning if that helps!
Ever seen a man hanged ? (not on TV or movies … I mean in REAL LIFE)
Believe me, it DOES leave an impression.
I’m in the lines of new strategies of preventing recidivism some prisons are taking to eliminate repeat offenders. As the talk became about imprisonment. Of course the violent and the most habitual offenders must be treated on a different level. These programs have reduced the the level of repeat offenders to the extant of actually reducing expenditures to the state even above the cost of implementing the program. Less people repeating means less crime.
Tough prisons do not make good prisoners, just tough prisoners” and they certainly don’t help with the problem of recidivism.
Now, this example we have here falls in the line of incarnation probably was not taken in account for his actions. So, How does one defend that?
Desperado, thankfully you have the insight of how a criminal thinks we would be lost without you.
Maybe we could have them all help me start my chainsaw.

Regardless of how a criminal mind works or doesn’t work.
If it’s recidivism that you’re concerned about … well
I guaran-d%^^n-tee ya, that swinging from a rope does significantly reduce the chance of recidivism.
