does this darkness has a name?

I haven't ever been in Virginia not even in the USA, but it does not matters today. I assume you've all have watched the news and read about Virginia Tech University shooting yesterday, 32 students lost their lifes and we don't even know why, we can begin to imagine why.
This world is freaking scary sometimes, we look around and see so much rage and despair, the unthinkable becomes reality and our darkest nightmares are some people's life.
This is not the first time we watch something as horrible as this happens: it's Beslan, Collumbine, Erfurt, Freising, Dawson College and Ecole Polytechnique only some of the places I remember, guns in schools and colleges, panic instead of knowledge. 
We've lost so much on the way, is another people life's meaningless, WORTHLESS?
In which second does a person decides he/she can take someone's life, fire a gun and continue shooting til no one else moves, til nobody else breathes?
Who gave him/her the power to decide people's fates? Who are they?, please somebody tell me who are playing God this days, armed and on the loose.
Think for one moment how easy is in your homeland to own a gun, in a lot of countries you can buy an arm as easy as you were buying groseries, if we ever want this to stop we have to have big obstacles for people to obtain a gun because today and every other horrible day shows us the danger we're exposed. If is that easy to posses a gun it may be that easy to take it and pull the trigger, we need a strict gun policy, we deserve better laws and someone enforcing them like it should, we shouldn't live with this fear of being a human target.
 Maybe we can't do anything to change this, but we can condenm and remember this can't happen again because is our job to speak and don't forget, I can't believe I have mental list of days and places writen in blood, I'm adding another to the list while my faith in humankind trembles again.
32 students woke up yesterday's morning on an ordinary day and they aren't going to return to class tomorrow, or any day, it wasn't such an ordinary day after all.

politics, life
