Why do they use lethal injection in the USA?

Death by firing squad has always been the quickest, cheapest and most humane way of doing it.

I just read life in prison can cost $75,000
Lethal injection can cost like $2M

A 9mm bullet from walmart is less than a dollar and they die instantly with out complications.

Firing squad wouldn't be any cheaper. Death sentences are expensive regardless of the method here due to the lengthy and costly legal procedures and process it requires. The methods used are inconsequential to those costs.

For the record firing squad is allowed in some states with a death penalty.
