We don't stone adulterers because Christians must obey secular law:
Romans 13:1-2: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
But on that blessed day when secular law is replaced with God's Law, things will be a little different.

Jesus spoke of making peace - I don't think killing people is very peaceful, no matter what they've done.

Jesus also spoke of the following:
Luke 19:27: But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
Also, in case you think Jesus did away with the entire Mosaic Law, note the following:
Matt. 5:17-19: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
