the human race has survived for thousands of years killing each other, it can be with a gun or a knife, or starvation.

I think we'll all be pretty safe if they're locked up in prison, so anything extra to that is purely for revenge, and not punishment.
It's not utter nonsense at all, and if you claim it is, then you need to expand on your reasons for it. We have laws in place to deal with criminals, that don't include murder.
The last point doesn't make any sense to me, because it treats the starting point and conclusion as the same, regardless of what happens in the middle. We know better now, and our morality has demonstrably evolved.
