A rambling piece, written like an editorial.
For those of you who do not like to click links, here's the only clue cited:

For one thing, a serious proposal would not carry the hallmark of the unserious proposal — i.e., it would not be focused, as progressives' proposals almost exclusively are, on creating additional restrictions for federally licensed firearms dealers and the people who do business with them, people who constitute one of the statistically least criminally inclined demographics in these United States.

I believe the implication of some of the text that follows the above quote is that a serious proposal *will* include real dollars for enforcement of background checks and processing of known, troubled individuals with guns.

"Serious gun crime proposals"

• Don't use the term "gun crime",
• Focus on all violent crimes,
• Aren't written by democrats,
• Don't focus on gun control,
• Don't punish the innocent for the actions of the guilty,
• Are pretty much a fallacy in today's political environment.
