It's not the "ongoing" gun debate, it's the "neverending" debate...
The problem between the two sides is the anti-gun side wants to get rid of guns altogether, and obviously the pro-gun side wants their right to own them.
The middle ground can never be achieved because in the United States, you cannot realistically undo what's been done. The fact that guns have been allowed for so long means there are literally millions of them, many legal, many illegal. Many in the homes of decent folk, many in the hands of criminals.
So the only possible common ground is to come up with a way to disarm the criminals entirely so the pro-gun people no longer have a reason to need a gun.
Until then, the debate is never going to end...
