Seen an uptick in flexing selfies lately? That might be due to a new social media campaign from youth advocacy organization*DoSomething.org (https://medium.com/@dosomething/college-students-want-to-keep-guns-off-their-campus-816bf7f090e0#.8ph4r7c9j)*to keep guns off college campuses.
Since the Virginia Tech shooting that killed 33 in 2007, "bills have been introduced in at least 37 states (http://www.ncsl.org/research/education/guns-on-campus-overview.aspx) that would allow guns on college campuses," writes*Aria Finger, CEO of DoSomething.org, in a*post on Medium (https://medium.com/@dosomething/college-students-want-to-keep-guns-off-their-campus-816bf7f090e0#.1kqd0pn4a). Guns will be allowed in classrooms at public Texas universities (http://mashable.com/2016/02/17/universty-of-texas-campus-carry/) starting Aug. 1, and a bill allowing concealed carry on campuses in Georgia is gaining momentum (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/7/senate-committee-approves-campus-carry-bill/).
