This semester, UMD locked and loaded a new student-organization – the Rifle and Pistol Club, but the Maryland General Assembly also passed one of the country’s strictest gun control bills in March. The new bill, called the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, is awaiting the Gov. Martin O’Malley’s signature and bans more than 45 different kinds of weapons, limits ammo clips to 10 rounds and orders new background checks on gun buyers. Despite their opposition to the bill’s ability to lower gun violence, members of the Rifle and Pistol Club say gun control doesn’t make a difference in how they practice and introduce willing students to the world of shooting sports and responsible gun ownership.

After talking with some fellow students, it’s clear that gambling on campus is now threatening to become a serious issue. In fact, some students are spending thousands of dollars a week on their gambling habits, and they don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

Mark Guerinot, senior Criminology major at the University of Maryland, works 40 hours per week for the Prince George’s County Police Department doing investigative and patrol work for the robbery suppression team. Guerinot starts work at 9 a.m., goes to classes mid-day, then goes back to work, often until 2 a.m. in the squad car. It isn’t the senior year he imagined of constant partying, but it is one step closer to fulfilling his dream of working for a government department, like the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
