NEWTOWN —The right to bear arms does not trump the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nor does it trump the right for more birthdays for children, the organizer of Team 26 said Saturday morning—a group of cyclists riding from Newtown to Washington to demand “common sense” gun control.
Chris McDonnell, and the other 25 members of Team 26, wore a cycling jersey Saturday that said they rode for Hope, Peace and Love.
McDonnell also rides for the “love and light” of his family, his daughter Grace.
Grace was among the 20 children and six adults killed by a single gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School last December.
Trip organizer Monte Frank, whose daughter attended Sandy Hook Elementary School, re-introduced the constitution during a rally Saturday morning, stressing that the second amendment does not trump all others.
“Yesterday was Dylan Hockley’s seventh birthday…he had the right to turn 7. He had the right to turn 8 and 9 and so did all of our other beautiful 20 children. The second amendment does not trump those rights,” he said.
