I was discussing the idea of honest discussion of a problem and what to do about it.

This is one of the most contentious issues in American politics and has been for years. In my experience (which I think I can legitimately say is considerable), online gun control conversations tend to get heated at the drop of a hat, and most forums that attempt them rapidly become useless. They either degenerate into pointless, infantile flame-fests, or in a moderated forum like this one or GC&RKBA, rapidly become one-sided when the minority side gets pushed out. Neither of those outcomes helps solve the problem.
