Well, it's a sign of politicians using this crisis for political purposes. And you posted the Rahm Emanuel retraction and clarification of his "never let a serious crises go to waste" comment. It means that when faced with unparalled tragedy you use it to exploit votes and turn the issue political instead of from what it was - a lone nut case with a gun.
politicians have been doing that forvever. Rahm Emanuel didnt invent it. Did Bush do it? Yes. Did Lincoln do it? Hell friggin yeah, they guy basically shat on the constitution following sesession. Did Obama do it? yes.
If any politician knows they can push an agenda by exploiting any sort of tragedy or crisis they will, its the nature of the beast.
