Yes, that's pretty much all she has.
There's a saying among lawyers:"If the facts are against you, pound the law. If the law is against you, pound the facts. If they're both against you pound the table."
And in some situations, like this one, raising a ruckus won't be as useful as trying to generate sympathy because of the harshness and injustice of the application of the law here. We've discussed the difficulty of generating sympathy for pro-gun issues. This might be one case where sympathy migh get some traction.
