" Americans in many states have said to be buying firearms at record levels the FBI says background checks for gun purchases. We're up 9% from last year one of the reasons. Fear what could happen to gun laws after the new president takes office correspondent Marianne -- talk to gun owners in Georgia. And has this report."
" If you want to know what god -- it's still on voters my presidential election just staff have done known. I want someone who the whole picture with writing I don't like. At this shooting range and Cumming Georgia. Are likely to heat up an opinion they are their rightful. Especially when it -- presidential candidate big."
" It's on their side I think John McCain probably would be better from the government then Obama I think Obama will be disaster."
" Neither John McCain nor Barack Obama owns a gun but both have expressed support for the supreme court's recent decision -- that gun ownership is an individual right. But what they're running mates Sarah -- Joe Biden -- gun owners. Pailin an NRA member hunter and Biden a shot gun owner who supports more gun control from there it's even less clear -- weird."
" The candidates really stand when it comes to guns both Senator McCain and Senator Obama agree. That the loophole for unregistered gun dealers at gun shows to sell guns without doing background checks should be closed. And McCain's support for that has traditionally not made him the best friend of the NRA."
" Eric Segal as the constitutional law professor at Georgia State University. He says the NRA was also unhappy with McCain supporter reflecting special interest group advertising. But now NRA is spending millions on ads supporting him Obama."
" Has given numerous public speeches where he has said I am not going to take away your guns your guns are safe with me as president."
" And there are plenty of voters -- support both Obama and Second Amendment Rights I think everybody should have a right to carry it down within reason I think."
" If you use to protect yourself should be appalled that someone wants to have a gun and that and they take careful precautions that their children do not get there it."
" Then that's their choice. Back at the gun range though. Books are buying Obama's promises in the end -- not a politician that -- fairly well. Are -- feeling well and paint. This -- you want to hear the difference between what some voters here and where the candidates actually stand on gun rights and and might be the result of a long running debate that could be emotional on both sides."
" This is divisive issue. That Americans themselves. Are conflicted about. Balancing. A right to own guns which is in the constitution and Second Amendment with the right of communities to protect themselves."
" But despite the ongoing conflict many agree that gun laws will probably take a backseat to the economy -- some time regardless of who wins Tuesday. In Atlanta Marianne Silber."
