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.

Typical left wing “ minority”. Can’t be honest about anything
We need you to start taking guns from violent criminals.
Our Constitutional Rights are up for grabs with the will of the Mob?
The Police Chief runs an Armed Mob himself. He should have run for President of Venezuela against that other Gun Grabbing Commie Maduro.
Glad that fool Acevedo is gone from Austin but it’s too bad he went to a bigger city where he can cause more harm. Houston won’t be his last stop, either. He’s got Bratton’s roadmap. Expect him to pop up in LA, NY, or Chicago in a few years.
I love it when the enemy self identifies.
A more correct term for their current project is "civilian disarmament".
Art the Fart is a gun-grabbing fascist sack of crap.
We the People will triumph over jack-booted thugs like you, Artie.
He would change his tune if the law in the end meant that cops leaving work....had to store their weapon at the office and could not take it home.
The Constitution was designed specifically to protect the citizens from government officials like this guy.
So sane freedom loving voter should put up with him, not for one minute.
That would be nice, but if I’m not mistaken Police Chiefs are appointed by city council. My bet is its a D majority city council. Anyone know?

You mean the good little Jewish Kapo who asked that everyone turn in their gun-owning neighbors?
You mean the same Art Acevedo who wants Texas to break Federal Law and become a Sanctuary City state?
That Art Acevedo?
The clown is the democrat gun grabbers’ latest face — he’s all over democrat media.
Didn’t this putz take an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States? Did he forget?
The mask is off. Libs want to outlaw civilan gun ownership.
This has been true for the past 50 years.
Yeah, the children aren’t worth it. /s
Maybe the good sheriff would like to personally confiscate people’s guns.
The PEOPLE are turning to the ballot box by voting out the liberals that want to impose gun control.
the ballot box is exactly what has prevented the liberal agenda on gun control.
