[[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.]]

So now the ballot box determines which inalienable rights we get to keep?

How about if we said “We need use the ballot box to curb people’s first amendment rights’?

The 1st Amendment is under the same assault as the 2nd is. Put a "hate speech" ban on the ballot right next to an assault weapons ban and don't be shocked when they both pass by landslides.

Constitutional? That's up for debate but in the meantime, the new laws will stand until some judge says differently.

The irony is a public official should act to keep a person's
unalienable rights even when a person says they don't want that right.

The official should act in the person's best interest and keeping those
unalienable rights is best for them, even if they don't realize it.
