It's like the republicans on abortion, the last thing they want is to actually pass any legislation, because then they'll have lost an issue that they can use to rile up the dumbest side of their supporters, combining the best of "won't someone think of the children", and "omg, genitalia in motion is much more evil than violence", and "if we do this right, we'll have a perfect panopticon to catch out the others out there that you don't like".
