Rep. Jared Golden of Maine announced a major shift in his stance on gun control legislation, calling for a ban on assault rifles like the one used in the mass shooting in his hometown of Lewiston. Golden discussed his previous opposition to legislation largely backed by fellow Democrats that would prohibit assault weapons and said he was wrong to oppose those measures. His call for a ban has been met with support from both sides of the aisle as the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of the two mass shootings in Lewiston.
