Listen here, you unfunny human. You think that just because you type words on the internet, you are funny? Wrong. This "joke" uses the tragic Sandy Hook shooting as the punchline. The person is making light of dead children by saying they were probably thinking of "bullets" and their parents are looking at "coffin brochures." It's dark, get it? It's meant to be shocking and inappropriate, that's the point.
