There's no one solution. Mental health, bullying, altrighters, snowflakes (I don't know of any snowflake mass murderers, but what the hay), religous zealots. 

The "tired old arguments" are reflective of the diversity if the problem. Which isn't that there's mental illness or too many guns or people filled with hate... The problem is all of the above, and the solutions need to be both diverse and rooted in common sense.

Instead, we get people digging in over partisan ideals instead of discussing the problem.

What happens when we, or politicians, discuss the problem?  Because the solutions--however impartially considered--would inconvenience a certain lobby, that lobby would do its best to inject "partisan ideals" into the conversation or legislative process or whatever. And it would claim the solutions are "partisan" and, from their perspective, that would in fact be the case.
