We have no real idea yet what the shooters politics or motivations actually are, and it's too early to make assumptions and assign blame.
However, completely aside from all that, the whole gun waving, ammo-buying, call for government overthrow by force of arms thing is absolutely associated with the right and the tea party. It's the right that is using shooting and gun metaphors, and buying ammunition, and by using those metaphors making the implied threat to shoot and kill to further political goals, and making political shooting look glamorous and heroic and "right".
And to attempt to deny this and cover up their glorification of political gunsmanship after a shooting is disingenuous.
Even tho it seems likely that this shooter is just a sick kid who seized on a crime of oppurtunity.
