While competing for the title of Miss America, Miss South Carolina Daja Dial confidently replied to a question on gun control by saying she doesn’t support it.
The gun control question came from Amy Purdy, who asked, “America loves our Second Amendment, but gun violence continues to be a tragic problem. Do you support a ban on military-style assault weapons?”
Without missing a beat, Dial responded by saying gun violence doesn’t stem from the guns, but those pulling the trigger.
“I don’t [support such a ban]… we need to increase education,” said Dial. “We have to go back there. If we teach people the proper way to use guns, then we will reduce the risk of having gun-related accidents. It starts with education.”
The Miss America Organization was quick to post Dial’s response on their Facebook page, which was filled with positive remarks about her poised answer.

A lovely lady is fun to look at
But a lovely lady with a brain and a soul is fun to look at love walk beside.the man who this woman chooses will be a very fortunate man indeed.
For everyone who thought we South Carolinians we just about a flag. This young lady is from the upstate of South Carolina.
I hope she wins.

smart woman. gun education. those two words can save thousands of lives. education is a powerful tool. no one should argue this proposal.
No such thing as gun control unless you are talking about two handed shooting. It’s all about people control. Wished she would have added that to the discussion but she still did real good. Thanks, young lady, you probably said something pro Constitution that none of the other competitors & supporters of the pageant have ever heard.
Hot AND smart!
