Doubt that they will shoot into the air.

The University of Delaware hands out money to several clubs on campuses, but how that money is being used by one group is surprising some.
The Students for the Second Amendment club asked for their university-mandated money to buy bullets for practice at a New Castle range.
“Well, first I asked if I could do it, and they said, ‘No,'” explained senior Tyler Yzaguirre.
Yzaguirre founded the club, which he said the first pro-Constitution and pro-Second Amendment organization at the school. He went through the long and arduous process to become an official on-campus group. He said the club hosts speakers and promotes responsible and safe gun ownership.
Yzaguirre pushed back against the school’s bullet-funding denial, and eventually the university cut the club a check for $500.
“We’re going to buy 9mm, .223–which is rifle (ammo), and you can use for an AR-15,” Yzaguirre told NBC10.
Student Erin Dowd said school money shouldn’t be used that.
“I believe everyone has the right to the Second Amendment, but I don’t believe the school should be funding it, necessarily,” Dowd said.
In a statement, the university told NBC10 that campus is a gun-free zone.
“The Students for the Second Amendment group followed the proper procedure; the Allocation Board reviewed the request and determined it met the necessary criteria for funding,” a university spokesperson said in a written statement. “The University prohibits the possession, storage, or use of firearms or ammunition on University property. The ammunition purchased by the students will not be stored on campus.”
Yzaguirre, who is licensed to carry firearms in the state of Delaware, said he and another member will store the ammunition in their off-campus apartments.
