Every "for the children!" law is always just about control. If they actually cared about children, these governments would pass laws or take actions that actually help. I imagine asking a kid if they feel their government does things to make them safe, they'd probably go "dafuq?" or "no."

I am probably on the same side as you are, but I was trying to give TacoButtPlug a somewhat measured answer to a seemingly genuine question. I try to start out appearing as a lukewarm lunatic before cranking the heat up to raving.
