Is it too soon to politicize next month's mass-shooting?

Now is not the time to talk about gun-control.

Yes, I know. The victims of next month's mass-shooting aren't even cold yet. And that's precisely why it would be tasteless to talk gun-control.

You are politicizing their imminent deaths for your own partisan goals. Their friends and family haven't even had time to digest the whole situation yet, that their loved one will be dead, and you are already co-opting their future grief for your own agenda. Your behavior is horrible and you should be ashamed of yourself.

They might not be killed using guns.

They might be killed with a truck or a pressure-cooker bomb.

Welcome to the new America.
