That's unfair. The media was quick to point out this was one of the districts Sarah Palin had crosshairs on; it wasn't just Justin. Also, it's a fair enough comment to make not knowing what this whackjob's motivation is for doing what he did early in the discussion. People don't realize just how damaging rhetoric can be and it's been used a means to rile up a base (cult, terrorist group, religion, OR ride,...) since the dawn of time. That second part is kind of ridiculous. Palin isn't 2nd Amendment spokesperson, does she support it, of course. Spokesperson is a bit much she just isn't educated enough on any issue to be any kind of spokesperson. She's nothing more than a marketing catch phrase, talking point repeating money machine and she's pretty good at it. Outside of that just supporting Palin because of a single issue is kind of dumb. Every side of issues uses events like this as a means to sway to their view point. While I admire Arizona's gun stance, the shooter apparently had previous run-ins with police and is listed as some kind of criminal, but it doesn't seem there are a lot of details. That will be the major issue raised by groups I think. It's easier to use that as ammunition as opposed to just yelling that guns are bad because of this.
