Because she was neither a sure vote (went from F to C rated by NRA) nor a 'victim'. It was only after she was shot that they had hopes of using her status as a 'victim of gun violence' to push their political agenda. Had a gun not been involved, there would have been no candle lit in her honor.
They need victims, specifically victims in some way, any way, associated w/ guns in order to maintain their worldview. For everyone shot, no matter the circumstance, they can hope for another few supporters that will regurgitate their talking points in front of a camera or audience.
It's the only way they can hope to keep the lights on.

And that is pretty much why the "gun control" movement disgusts me... Any group whose continued existence relies on the exploitation of other people's tragedies needs to reconsider their lives' paths...
If the nutcase had gouged her eyes out with a 99 cent melon baller, Dennis Henigan would have been looking off into the distance, with his hands in his pockets, while whistling a show tune. His hardware obsession is as narrow as his concern for crime victims.
