I think one can safely opine, "I wish someone would just guillotine these people." while the same cannot be said of "I wish someone would just shoot these people."

I wonder why that is. Maybe because you can see a guy with a guillotine coming a mile away? W.S. Gilbert had his "Lord High Executioner" keeping "a little list," in The Mikado, of people who "would not be missed, I'm sure they won't be missed."
