Gun Violence

Following last week's deadly shooting, FSU students are asking lawmakers to pass some measures — and reject others — to prevent future gun violence.

If the Senate does not take up the bill, this would be the third year in a row that the House has approved such measures with the Senate not passing them.

"It's a little more intimidating to think about finishing the semester and going back to class," said Olivia Washinski. "I haven't opened my computer because I don't know how it's going to make me feel, but I still have exams to study for, so I have to face that reality at some point."

Miami Dade College student Isabel Paz, 19, reflects on the lasting effects of gun violence on herself and the people around her in her submission for NPR's College Podcast Challenge. Her podcast is now a finalist for the fourth annual competition.
