I'd have to say it's because human beings are so liable to killing other human beings. Throughout the entire human history, there have always been mistrust, hatred and killing of human being by another human being.
Do you all remember the line in the movie, "Conquest of Planet of Apes"? Parapharsing - "Men could kill his brother, but he could not kill his pet." "Men are so prone to destory each other. One plain evidence is men waging war against their own kind."
Another reason would be the need for "dominiation" and the competition that is so intricately built to into human society and daily lives lived by human beings.

Why do humans have weapons? Well, let's see. Do they have very sharp teeth? No. Do they have pernicious claws? No. Do they have a hard, armor-like hide? No. Do they have anything else as physical defense? Apparently not. However, they do have the knowledge of gunpowder, so do you think they'll use it to compensate? Hmm, I wonder....

If I had to come up with any reason for anyone to kill, it would be for their own satisfaction or to defend themselves. I do realize how generic an answer that is.

I think it is mainly to prove their "superiority". Unfortunately, NOONE is more superior than the other. Mankind is bent upon destroying itself in my opinion. As to why they don't realize this it is a mystery.
