The gun grabber response is purely emotive. They see a problem, and they want to fix it. It's coming from a good place, but because they aren't using their reason they just wind up screaming, "DO SOMETHING!!!" instead of actually coming up with workable solutions that would really help people. Like allowing teachers who are also CWP holders to carry on school grounds. That would protect students, cost the state no money, and wouldn't be forcing anybody who didn't want to, to carry a gun.

The people they're being useful idiots for, on the other hand, definitely have a plan, and it's just "more power," because that's always the way with tyrants. They just want more power for themselves and damn the consequences, and eventually you wind up at North Korea or Nazi Germany. Which is why an armed populace is so important to prevent things like that from happening. If you can stop Hitler before he takes over the Party and becomes Chancellor and has the full might of the military behind it, it counts just as much as stopping him at the height of his power while the gas chambers have been working for years.
