From the press release: "It makes no sense for our nation or our state to institutionalize the victimization of our children."

It makes "perfect sense" in the minds of those who seek to wield political power over their fellow humans. They  WANT victims; they WANT people feeling "helpless and lost."

They cannot build the sort of "political power structures" they want if people are feeling confident and in control of their lives. They NEED victims for the sort of sick world they crave. While they may publicly make statements suggesting they mourn for the children who have died in something like the Connecticut school shooting (and they may feel some genuine grief), inside, they secretly revel in the tragedy because they know they can use it as a stepping-stone to help bring the world filled with "slaves to them" they crave.
