Meet the pro-gun rape survivor who challenged Obama on CNN

“As a survivor of rape, and now a mother to two small children — you know, it seems like being able to purchase a firearm of my choosing, and being able to carry that wherever my — me and my family are — it seems like my basic responsibility as a parent at this point,” she told Obama during “Guns in America,” CNN’s town hall, after the president announced executive orders on gun control Tuesday.

“I have been unspeakably victimized once already, and I refuse to let that happen again to myself or my kids. So why can’t your administration see that these restrictions that you’re putting to make it harder for me to own a gun, or harder for me to take that where I need to be is actually just making my kids and I less safe?”

First, Obama praised Corban for showing up.

“Well, Kimberly, first of all, obviously — you know, your story is horrific,” he said. “The strength you’ve shown in telling your story and, you know, being here tonight is remarkable, and so — really proud of you for that.”
