The Justice Department drafted legislation to speed up the death penalty for mass shooters, according to Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short, who said the vice president is coordinating with Attorney General William Barr.

Short, who made this revelation while talking to reporters on Air Force Two on a Labor Day flight to Europe, said the vice president’s office has been working with the attorney’s general’s team on the issue.

The proposal to expedite capital punishment for those found guilty of mass murder would be a part of the White House’s eventual legislative package proposal to Congress when lawmakers return from their August recess to debate gun laws in the wake of a number of recent mass shootings.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.

The vast majority of these shooters either kill themselves or are killed by police.

Very few have survived to face a trial, letalone a death penalty.

Death is death, so why would this not apply to ALL convicted murderers?

I think a cold-blooded murder of say one's wife or child is even more heinous than a mass murderer who does not know the victims

Like a 'hate crime', this is a made-up political move.

 I don’t disagree with this.

One month for appeals, and immediate execution.
