Things like snipering usually have a reason behind it. Whether or not the killer is willing to accept it, they are using a gun because they cannot handle the situation in a civilised manner. That therefore leads to their being other issues, such as why they can't handle the situation, is it because they're too afraid? And want the easy way out? Using a sniper means they don't have to deal with the pleas of the victim, they aren't as emotionally involved in the killing. They stand at a distance because they are cowardly. They have problems.

Now, I see we might be getting confused with professionally trained, military type snipers. Obviously, they kill because they are instructed to. But why? There are obviously some deep mental issues torturing them, for them to be able to kill people. To be able to supress the conscious while you do it is a hard task, one I doubt I'd ever be able to carry out, my conscious, let alone my heart and brain wouldn't let me. The conwardness comes into play, because the people ordering the snipers to kill, are in fact being cowardly.

One way or the other, it's a matter of opinion Death. I believe that any violence can be avoided, and I don't condone it. Sure, I've had my bad days, and I've acted violently. But when I do, I always make sure to realise why. And it's because I was weak, I was weak in some mental area, and I would fix it. People who use violence, and continually use it, are weak, and they in turn are weaker for not being able to recognise their weaknesses.

Gah, that was absolutely beautiful Alcar. I agree 100%.
