13. You realize the problem

So many people want to be on that firing squad they're going to have to tie them to poles so they can be shot by thousands of people.

They'll also see a unique phenomenon regarding Trump's firing squad: Firing squads typically load at least one rifle with a non-lethal cartridge - either a blank or one with a wax bullet - so the firers can tell themselves, "maybe it wasn't me who fired the fatal shot." In this case, we'll be seeing firing squad members specifically request live ammunition. "But sergeant, we have no more live ammunition to give you." "Fine. Wait here fifteen minutes." "Where are you going?" "To that gun store down the road so I can buy my own damn ammo."
