Orlando, Trayvon Martin, Christina Grimmie and many others have been affected by gun shootings. Now, I'm not one to state my opinion on politics or current events, such as all of the gun shooting incidents, but I have decided to share my opinion on what the real causes of these tragedies are.

It all starts from childhood. We have all picked up water guns and enjoyed the atmosphere filled with laughter as we shot each other with water. Or the innocent game of cops and robbers, where we hold up the gun motion and point it at your opponent and say, "Freeze, and nobody will get hurt!" and we would pretend to shoot at them when they moved.

Those were innocent times in our lives. Precious memories that we can hold onto and smile as we take a look back into those days. While the majority of us throughout the world realize that things like that should stay in the past. While some still remain in their childhood memories, and they still fill the room with laughter as they pick up a gun and shoot.

But one thing progressed into another and water guns became actual guns, bombs, rifles and several other weapons. I am not saying that childhood games are the cause of all gun shooting incidents in the world, but I am saying that I believe that they do have an effect on the world.

Unfortunately, people don't realize that those aren't water guns anymore. And that picking up and shooting them at a person won't just make them wet. It could make them dead. By the second, we lose another person to a gun shooting, innocent people who didn't deserve what they got. Trayvon Martin shot on the spot, Orlando was in the hands of one shooter, only one, and that one person took 49 lives and wounded 53. Christiana Grimmie was shot four times.

In our childhood, games shootings like that would definitely make you a champion. So maybe that's what's going through the shooters' heads. Maybe as they are pointing the gun, they think, "In my hand I hold a water gun, and I'm ready to win this game," while the truth is, these aren't water guns anymore. And this is not a game of cops and robbers. People are pointing fingers, trying to find someone to blame now. It's a shame how the game of cops and robbers ain't a game now.

So take my hand in your hand and let's stand, and we can pray for all the fallen ones. Because here's the truth. Those guns are full-on pistols, and no matter what you think, these aren't water guns anymore.
