Austin Terrio disagrees with golden, saying the focus should be on mental health and addressing the lack of accessible treatment. If we want to address those issues, I'm all for that. As far as taking guns out of the hands of law abiding Mainers, I have a big problem with that. So I'm going to defend the Second Amendment. But I want to make sure that we can get these people that are struggling and sometimes crying out for help and their families know that they're in crisis. (02:29–02:37)
