Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. greets supporters outside Schott Glass on Friday in Duryea, Pa.

Duryea, Pa. ? Barack Obama got a chance to go back to Scranton on Friday and talk about guns. And he made the most of it.

This week, Obama was on the receiving end of a blast from Republican vice-presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin, who accused him of talking “one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco,” a reference to Obama’s now-infamous comment about how some people in America “cling to guns or religion.”

Obama, pounding economic issues hard on a swing through Pennsylvania, a crucial swing-state, toured a glass factory in Duryea, a small town outside of Scranton. He took questions afterward.

“There are rumors going around that : you’re going to take away our guns,” said Joan O’Neil, a resident of tiny Susquehanna in northeastern Pennsylvania, a popular area for hunting.

“I believe in the Second Amendment, and if you are a law-abiding gun owner you have nothing to fear from an Obama administration,” Obama said. “The Second Amendment is an individual right : people have the right to bear arms. But I also believe there is nothing wrong with some common-sense gun safety measures.”

As examples, Obama listed background checks and providing cities with federal gun trace data that would allow them to go after dealers that sell guns illegally. Currently, that data is confidential.
