Well, the answer is multiple forms of nothing:
I saw that and I thought the matter of curtailing the incidence of gun shootings and mass shootings does not require one to think ahead. There have been enough of them, in recent years no less, that one need no measure of prescience to know damn well that absent profound change(s) of some sort(s), they are going to happen again, no matter where they happen.
Someone not thinking ahead isn't the problem. The problem is twofold:
In just the past year we've seen...
- They don't discard their spurious narrative/rhetoric.
- They don't implement solutions.
They'll flunk. Someone isn't thinking ahead

Someone not thinking ahead isn't the problem. The problem is twofold:
- Too many people thinking way too hard to conjure ways to "spin" the matter so they can pacify the NRA, white nationalists, and "gun nuts" and appear also to be taking action to ameliorate the incidence of unlawful fatal shootings.
- Too many people simply not thinking.
