Check Out These Guns

So I'm having quite a hard time as of late trying to figure out why all these people are shooting people in schools and malls and such. I understand hurting yourself, and maybe even those at school who hurt you, but innocent people? Innocent men, women and children. Children! Children who just want to grow up and be Batman or a astronaut or a princess.
Not only are school shootings and such happening, there are so many threats that no one hears about. In the last month alone both my brother and my school have been targeted, mine being on Friday when school wasn't even in session. These kids that threaten their own school, I just can't grasp it. I understand the want to get 'revenge' or something against bullies and such, but would good would killing someone really do? Especially when it means being locked up and completely ruining your future.
Maybe this happened a lot before, all these shootings, so why have we increased the media on them now? 
I do not have a political side on gun control whatsoever, let me make that clear. What I want everyone to take away from this post is the question of why. Why hurt an innocent person, how would that benefit you?


Not that Sandy Hook is any more important that the other recent shootings, I just think this summed it up perfectly. All it takes is 5 minutes to eliminate 26 lives. 26 innocent lives.
