Obama Talks Gun Control with Smerconish

by KYW's Lynne Adkins
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama talked about gun control and the Second Amendment during a radio interview in Philadelphia on Friday morning.
Illinois Senator Barack Obama was a guest on KYW's sister station, WPHT-AM 1210.
Obama told talk show host Michael Smerconish he's a firm believer in the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms -- but admits there must be some limits:
"I do believe in some gun safety measures -- so, for example, with all the shootings in Philadelphia, most recently police officers, I want to make sure that we can trace back guns and bullets that are used in crimes back where they were purchased, so we can make sure that in fact the laws are being enforced."
He assured Smerconish, an admitted gun owner, and other lawful weapon owners their rights to bear arms under the Constitution would be protected under an Obama administration.
