My thought on reasons is this: When it comes to the anti-gun general populace, most honestly believe that these measure will make a difference. They are genuine in this belief and they simply don't understand that it won't. A few elitists may be well aware that it won't but the majority believes that it will.
Most anti politicians are a far different animal. They are guided by an agenda and this is only one part of it. They know full well that this will help nothing. It is only a means to more control.

Ben I worked in politics and PR most of my life and your take is exactly correct.
I would only refine it to say the ends for most politicians isn't necessarily more "control" it is simply diversion and scapegoating for a problem. Profligate and increasing spending isn't the problem, the 1% are. Felons on the streets aren't the problem, legal gun owners are.
