Bradley Ave. Tightly tied to the crosswalk poles, assortments of metallic balloons attempted to defy gravity; bundles of red hearts; a slew of black and gold stars; all representing the bright future that had been unexpectedly snatched the night before.<\/p>\n

She would have been the first person in her immediate family to attend college had her life not been senselessly cut short. Murry attended a party hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African American men, on Saturday, April 7, 2018. The unofficial Alpha Phi house is located just outside Bradley\u2019s campus boundaries, and after advertising the party on social media, more than 100 individuals were in attendance, including an unknown number of non-Bradley Peorians. At approximately 1:45 a.m., the Peoria Police responded to a report of gunshots inside the party, arriving at the scene to find two individuals fatally shot: 22-year-old Anthony Polnitz and Bradley University freshman, Nasjay Murry.<\/p>\n

Several vigils were held for Murry in the following days and Murry\u2019s family opened her funeral to the public on April 21.<\/p>\n

The scene remains frozen in time; bouquets of flowers are replaced as they wilt and the balloons have yet to deflate. Stuffed animals come and go, but the size of the memorial remains the same, much like Bradley University\u2019s efforts toward combatting gun violence.<\/p>\n

For the 290 school-specific shootings that have occurred in the wake of Sandy Hook, those students had no choice in where they ended up; they are mandated to sit within classroom walls for eight hours a day, for seven days a week for nine months of the year. They were sitting ducks, especially as mass shooters\u2019 motives have become centered on fame. Yet, for decades, civilians have fought, representatives have stalled, and the country has become equal parts stagnant and divided over access to guns.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For many, gun control may seem like a civilian vs. legislator battle.

The Peoria Journal <\/em>Star noted, in just five weeks after their shooting, the Parkland, Florida, students initiated the March for Our Lives<\/em>, which garnered over 800,000 participants in Washington, D.C., alone. Not only did Bradley University hold their own March for Our Lives <\/em>protest, they also organized a schoolwide walk-out in commemoration of the 17 high school lives that were lost. More than 300 Peoria citizens gathered in solidarity to listen to students from Bradley University and the surrounding high schools \u2013 all while facing one of Peoria\u2019s harshest snowstorms of the season.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThere are always going to be obstacles in the way of fighting this battle, whether that\u2019s the NRA, our President or a snowstorm,\u201d admitted Bradley University Freshman Beckett Kenny, who attended Peoria\u2019s March for Our Lives.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBut if you\u2019re only doing advocacy when it\u2019s fun or easy then you aren\u2019t doing advocacy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Even those who did not attend the rally can feel the fire lighting up Bradley\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThis is obviously a really emotional time for a lot of people in the United States and Peoria specifically \u2013 any place where people have suffered from gun violence,\u201d said Jerome Gregory, Bradley University senior and interim press secretary to Assistant Majority Leader of the Illinois House of Representatives, Jehan Gordon-Booth.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBut it is\u2026 a really amazing signal to students who are one of the most important groups\u2026 at this point in time when there\u2019s so much political activism.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 College students have historically been the demographic to spark movements and instill change, but for the first time in recent history, these young scholars are finally starting to feel like the rest of the country is behind them. Regrettably, because the political actors with the power to enact gun reform are almost all, white, older men sitting in the Capital, Bradley students must equip themselves with the vast understanding of how America reached such a divisive stance on gun control, and further, the best course of action to see the change their community so badly needs.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cGun control wasn\u2019t always a controversial issue,\u201d explained Curtis.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe started as a society with virtually no rules.

Yet, considering not a single piece of gun reform legislation has been passed since Sandy Hook \u2013 save the Bipartisan NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2008, which Trump repealed in part \u2013 Curtis adamantly believes America is in desperate need of gun legislation reform.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cSomehow in the 80s, gun rights became linked to general freedoms and the NRA has since been successful in convincing people that gun rights are key to all other rights,\u201d Curtis continued.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cRationally, it\u2019s hard to deny the need for gun control. But as we injected religion and personality in politics, everything became weaponized and gun rights became central with conservatism.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Undoubtedly, the Second Amendment has created a sub-debate within the gun control conversation, standing as a historical roadblock for many conservative Republicans.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI think there are misconceptions about the intentions of gun safety advocates that they are trying to \u2018take your guns away,\u2019\u201d added Kenny, ultimately underscoring the Democratic side of the coin.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, for Republicans on Bradley\u2019s campus, the Second Amendment still acts as a fundamental placeholder for an identity close to their heart.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cGenerally, I disagree with the premise of gun control,\u201d explained Brusick.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHowever, I am in favor of certain provisions which do not limit Second Amendment rights, but greatly enhance safety.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Many activists see how this exact mindset ultimately prevents bipartisan cooperation on a surplus of issues nationwide. But as the Bradley community continues to mourn the loss of a student, it is vital the campus reaches a mutually beneficial decision about how to act with regard to the Second Amendment, while also using Murry\u2019s horrific death as a catalyst for change. That change begins with watering down the argument born from the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cSince 2008, every state has been forced to allow some form of concealed carry,\u201d revealed Curtis.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s become a canary in coalmine.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Curtis expanded, recognizing the need for gun control won\u2019t strip qualified citizens from their gun rights, and this breakthrough is crucial to move forward as a collective with the potential to change the direction America is heading.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now a licensed peace officer in Texas, former Marine Gale Tynefield served as Ronald Reagan\u2019s Senior Support Specialist from 1981 to 1985.

While potentially a stretch to solidify, classes like these could decrease the knowledge gap between those for and against gun control, as well as spark similar efforts across the country. If knowledge is what opponents want to see, Bradley\u2019s educational institution can give them just that.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kenny wants to take the fight to the polling booth, but acknowledges the limited resources many college students face.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe could create some kind of carpool or transportation system for people who want to vote as elections are coming up, but don\u2019t have a way to reach the polling stations from campus,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cSo many college students feel so passionately about these things because they affect our safety.

Indeed, children are the future, and there is no better place to begin an avalanche of political change than where those children spend the majority of their young lives. For Nasjay Murry, her future was exceptionally bright, and despite the devastating act of violence which prohibited that future from coming to fruition, her legacy lives on.
