This isn't directed at you in particular, I've always found the idea that there must be some enforced waiting period between a horrible thing happening, and the response to that thing, to be a bit nonsensical.
For instance, any time there's a shooting, the respective pro/anti gun control folks start at each other with things like "the blood hasn't even dried yet!"
Okay, so? If the argument were for ensuring decisions were made with a cool head, I could understand that, but it never is, usually it's an attempt to make a non-sequitur snipe at the other side for their sincerely held beliefs.
The alternative to there not being a "time to politicize the attacks" is that the government doesn't act on them; which is absurd.
There are many better ways to argue for putting thought into legislation than taking potshots at people's debating positions. The idea that something "shouldn't be politicized" is another way of saying that the government should never do anything about it.
Get two people in a room talking about something, and you've got politics - moreso when we're talking about laws.
"The blood hasn't even dried yet!" - meaningless, emotionally manipulative pap.
"We should think long and hard before making knee-jerk decisions" - sanity.
