Houston police chief Art Acevedo urged Congress to act on the issue of gun violence Wednesday, saying "our streets, our neighborhoods are truly drowning in the blood of our victims and in the tears of their loved ones.”

At a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee dedicated to gun policy, Acevedo declared, “Gun violence is arguably one of the greatest public health epidemics facing the nation everyone in this room loves and serves."

“Chiefs of police and sheriffs join the victims in asking you to act now to prevent one more death and bloodshed," he said.

Seems to me Chief your officers actions are the problem and the citizens were just using their 2nd Amendment right to defend themselves from a tyrannical government. So clean up your house before ask us to clean up ours!

Well, the cops can’t prevent home invasion, so how are we supposed to protect ourselves?
