It was in bad taste, not just because it was gun related. The same uproar occured after Princess Diana's death when a Volvo dealership in (I believe) Australia ran an ad saying that if she had been riding in a Volvo instead of a Mercedes, she might still be alive.
It was tacky then, and it's tacky now, to exploit the death of others for commercial gain. That's the difference when we discuss on this board how a story might have ended differently had the victims been in possesion of a firearm. Nobody involved in the discussion stands to gain financially from discussing the loss of life.
