Because the use of the sniper smiley is the unconscious will of the offending poster saying, "I know this post needs killin'."

Ah, that explains it!

I was thinking, "Where else would they possibly be used?". But that doesn't explain why they're so common in certain types of spam that have no obvious relation to violence.
