problem in college campuses. When a college student enters the college campus, they do not only enter a new campus, a new life is also entered. In this new experience, one will find themselves exploring new things. The power of the eye is remarkable in today’s society. When someone has a friend that is doing something, the one looking will eventually want to try as well. This can raise many red flags that can be avoided, simply by banning smoking on all college campuses. Smoking on college campuses should
seems to be at an all-time high in current times. I feel that this is due to so many people carrying guns. The safety of all people should be the focus of our society now. I believe that all firearms should be banned from college/university campuses. This is the most important area to focus on. There are several reasons why allowing guns on college and university campuses could be dangerous to people. First, access to gun seems to lead to an escalation of violent crime (Blumstein 1).

Over several decades, Greek life has been an integral part of colleges and universities throughout the United States. There is a high demand of “fitting in” in today’s society and a question that students, parents, and teachers alike often ask themselves is, “Does Greek life provide a more safe or harmful environment?” With strong evidence, it is absolutely absurd to believe that fraternities and sororities do more good than they do harm. Various statistics provide factual evidence as to why Greek

In 1791, our founding fathers established in the U.S Constitution the right that everybody has “the right to bear arms”. The right to bear arms in the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to own guns and indicates that the government cannot restrict this right. Colleges do not allow individuals to carry these weapons on campus
violence on US campuses. For example, the Columbine High massacre in 1999, where two students killed 13 and wounded many others. Another example is the University of Iowa shooting where a former student shot and killed four students and wounded one. The campuses of America need to be secured. Students should be able to secure their campus “home” and exercise their 2nd amendment rights in the event of an attack on their campus.

Mandatory means people are always allowed to bring firearms on campus. Generally, firearms should be allowed in the campus or in the publicly funded institution. Institutional means

In the article, Students Oppose Concealed Weapons on Campuses, writer Justin Doubleday states that, so far, this year 19 states have introduced legislation to allow concealed carry on public-college campuses (DoubleDay).
