WASHINGTON—The AR-15 was Jared Golden ’s weapon of choice for self-defense.
He knew how lethal the gun was, and how easy to use, from his days serving as a Marine, and he kept one in his home in Lewiston, Maine.
He was confident it would keep him safe.
Then last month, a gunman used a weapon much like that one to kill 18 people and wound more than a dozen not more than a five-minute jog from the Democratic U.S. representative’s home.
