It’s always tradition in the Miss America pageant to ask some hard hitting questions to test the knowledge of the contestant. Last night, Miss South Carolina, Daja Dial, got a tough question that her own state has had to deal with in very real ways.

The judges asked her the following question:
“Do you support a ban on military-style assault weapons?”
And here was her response:
“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.”
