Said gun control support is down to 47%

Sent a lady down to talk to Steve with NSSF headquartered in Newtown and he spoke wise about the shooting and our rights.

Here is the gun support link http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-575 ... rol-wanes/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I can't find the NSSF interview yet.

Edit;

I'm still looking for a link for the interview. It was awesome. Nice and calm on both sides. I'm sure it brought a sense of ease to many people unfamiliar with guns. It was a bunch of liberal nonsense creating tension.

"Currently, support for stricter gun control laws stands at 47 percent today, down from a high of 57 percent just after the shootings."

IOW, 10% of Americans base their opinions entirely upon emotion. If conservatives can't figure out how to appeal to those emotions, they will continue to lose elections. (Note I did not say the GOP. AFAIC the GOP is a complete lost cause.)

Here is the episode.. Fast forward to 9:00 mark

All it means is that 10% had no particular alignment between gun control and their emotions and are more easily swayed than the other 90%. It doesn't mean that the 47% who favor gun control (or those that don't for that matter) don't have opinions that are entirely based in emotion --their emotions were already firmly aligned with their position. I'd guess that percentage of Americans whose opinions are entirely based on emotion is at least 50%, if not 80-90%.
