Florida Gun Violence Awareness Podcast (FGVA) is all about publicizing one of Florida’s biggest issues. Firearms have been around for as long as anyone can remember. But the new Florida House Bill (HB) 543 signed by Ron DeSantis allows Floridians to carry concealed weapons without a government-issued permit. The FGVA podcast talks to professionals, victims, and concerned citizens to raise awareness.
Episode 1: In this episode of Florida Gun Violence Awareness, we interview psychologist Ingrid Svenblad where we look at gun violence from a psychological standpoint. Svenblad has a background of working with adults and children and talks about the warning signs. Svenblad further gets into the warning signs that she has seen in her work experience mostly with children and from the standpoint of being a mother.
Episode 2:
Gun violence is one of the biggest topics and issues in the United States. Now, Florida is in the spotlight because of its new permit-less carry law that went into effect in July.
“I really think that DeSantis has passed this law as a political move,” said FIU student Alexandra Howard. “I honestly feel like it was just a leverage that he used for his political campaign because he is running for president.”
