‘Women and Guns’ A National Survey [VIDEO]

The magazine MarieClare.com in conjunction with the Harvard Injury Control Research Center recently interviewed female victims of gun violence.One of the women interviewed was Jillian Soto, the sister of Victoria Soto, who was a first grade teacher at Sandy Hook and was gunned down trying to protect her students on December 14, 2012.

She turned down the interview the first time because it was coming up on the anniversary of her sister's death, but after rethinking, decided it was important for her to be heard.
