In the aftermath of a tragic mass shooting at Schemengees Bar & Grille in Lewiston, Maine, the debate over gun control has taken center stage in the upcoming congressional elections. Ben Dyer, a survivor of the shooting, is among the voters in Maine's 2nd Congressional District who are grappling with the issue as they consider the political future of Congressman Jared Golden.
Golden, a three-term Democrat with a history of supporting gun rights, has shifted his position following the Lewiston shooting. He now supports an assault weapons ban, a move that has drawn both support and criticism from constituents.
