What makes it acceptible for our elected representatives and other politicians to use the murderous attack in Tucson to:
1) Viciously sling false accusations of correlation and causal relationships and responsibility at their opponents.
2) Put forward opportunistic legislation to further limit Constitutional rights (1st & 2nd Amendment) within days of reading and pledging to uphold same Constitution.
3) Fundraise inferring an opposing party's views are to blame for the bloodshed.
It is bad enough that the media whores from the networks and cable stations run down to Tucson to inject themselves into the story; but, what makes it acceptable for our elected representatives and politicians to do that and worse?
Are they anything more than vultures picking for pieces of meat amid the bloodshed and remains?
Meanwhile, families of victims not in the national spotlight grieve and bury their dead. Victims lay in the hospital fighting to recover. What of them? Is it not dispicably disrespectful to them?

For placing him in a specific idiology (Democraps/Repoopicans, etc), people can use it to insult that specific group.

For creating new laws, people look at his mental health problems and his usage of a firearm and make conclusions that new laws must be made to prevent this from happening again. I can only imagine the new laws should he have used a home-made flamethrower that resembled a dog.
Because WE ask them to do it. WE require them to do it. WE threaten them when they don't do it. WE listen to the echo chamber saying WE should push them to do it.
