Maine's 2nd Congressional District Election Sparks Gun Control Discussion

Ben Dyer, a shooting survivor in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, considers gun control a key issue in the upcoming election. Congressman Jared Golden, previously supportive of gun rights, has shifted his stance following a mass shooting in Lewiston. Golden's reconsideration of assault weapons bans has garnered support from some constituents, while others, like Dyer, emphasize the importance of protecting law-abiding gun owners. The district's rural nature and high rate of gun ownership make gun policy a significant factor in the election. Republican candidates are also vying for the seat, but Golden's evolving position on gun laws has resonated with certain voters and gun control advocates.
