In his recent reelection bid, Golden was not supported by New Yorkers Against Gun Violence—most likely for his A rating from the NRA. In 2010, Golden infamously walked out of the senate chamber to take a phone call right before a tough vote came up on microstamping, which would put unique markers on the spent shell casings from semiautomatic handguns. "Golden also failed to support a bill that would have given judges the power to seize firearms and permits from people involuntarily committed to a mental health institution," according to a press release by his opponent Andrew Gounardes, "and one that would ban carrying a firearm while drunk."
