Check out Miss South Carolina, Daja Dial, answering a question about the Second Amendment at the Miss America contest.

She didn't win (which was enough to get the right-wing blogosphere claiming she was blackballed due to her pro-gun stance) but this is a pretty odd moment in a contest that probably should have called it quits during the second FDR administration.

When asked if she supports a ban on "military-style assault weapons," Dial replied:

"I don't but I think it's because we need to increase education. We have to go back there to teach people the proper way to use guns. Then we will reduce the risk of having gun-related accidents. It starts with education."
