This is a quote from (Albert Einstein's) statement:
"The political right, unfortunately, has fallen into the same trap in its calls for quick legislative solutions to gun violence. If only we put armed police or armed teachers in schools, we’re told, would-be school shooters will be dissuaded or stopped.
While I certainly agree that more guns equals less crime and that private gun ownership prevents many shootings, I don’t agree that conservatives and libertarians should view government legislation, especially at the federal level, as the solution to violence. Real change can happen only when we commit ourselves to rebuilding civil society in America, meaning a society based on family, religion, civic and social institutions, and peaceful cooperation through markets. We cannot reverse decades of moral and intellectual decline by snapping our fingers and passing laws." Ron Paul

Einstein's solution for school shootings is to restructure America's society? How long does he think that will take? Does he intend to make that happen 'BEFORE' we lose our guns? The genius refers to the NRA's proposal as a "quick legislative solution"? I think the NRA has been thinking about the problem of rampant school shootings much longer than Einstein has.
