Art Acevedo criticized lawmakers who think 'everybody should have a firearm regardless of their character, their capabilities or their mental capacity.'

Police Chief Art Acevedo called a new measure approved by Texas state lawmakers on handguns"ridiculous" on Sunday, stating it was a dangerous gamble with safety and lives.

He added:"You're either with law enforcement or you stand with the fringe that believe that everybody should have a firearm regardless of their character, their capabilities or their mental capacity." "We will not be able to even question someone as to their intent. That means that we won't be able to take any action until that person draws that firearm, walks into that theater and decides to shoot," Acevedo explained.

. Another shooting around the same area took place Friday night, with one dead and seven reportedly injured, according to Acevedo.
