The fact that the US federal government has the power to outlaw this but doesn’t, that this specific execution was brought before the Supreme Court and they voted against blocking it 6–3, and the fact that the majority of US states (27) and the federal government have this on the books speak for the US now, yes.
Taken to an absurd extreme, let’s imagine that the US federal government and 27 of its states explicitly had statutes on the books stating “you can legally rape puppies”, and you stepping in and saying “Well that doesn’t speak for the entire US! Stop trying to make it sound like everyone condones puppy rape just because Missouri allows it!” Would you say that then? Because I feel like any rational person would be asking “Why does the US allow this to happen?” If not, why would you say it here? The US is simply backwards in this regard.
Would you come to the US’ defense in the same way that you are right now over state-sanctioned murder in the situation I outlined? It’s a very simple yes/no question that you’re tiptoeing around for seemingly no reason.
Damn, last I checked, 27 plus the federal government was more than 1. Maybe the federal government expressed as an integer actually comes out to negative 26 and makes your ridiculous defense make any sense.

Puppy rape? Is that supposed to be an argument?

In saying that one state doesn’t speak for the entire country, YES. That was said in my first comment, maybe you should reread it.

I didn’t mention numbers but you mentioned puppy rape. Stop drinking so early, it’ll rot your liver.
I think you got lost on the way to /c/preschool where they teach you what numbers are.
My first comment said “Missouri speaks for the entire US now?” where exactly did I say one state? What hallucinogenic are you on right now?
Missouri is one state. Even if you listed multiple states your point is still shit.
That was said in your comment. Maybe you should reread it.
