Houston police chief: Politicians should ask God’s forgiveness for inaction on gun control

It’s not usually cops who want everyone to have guns — for obvious reasons:

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said on Sunday that voters need to use the ballot box to achieve change on gun control in the wake of the deadly shooting at a Santa Fe high school last week.

“People at the state level and the federal level in too many places in our country are not doing anything other than offering prayers,” Acevedo told CBS’s Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.”

“We need to start using the ballot box and ballot initiatives to take the matters out of the hands of people that are doing nothing that are elected into the hands of the people to see that the will of the people in this country is actually carried out,” he added.

Acevedo aired his frustrations on Facebook on Saturday over the Santa Fe shooting.
