Police Commission Bratton is correct, the USA Congress is not going to do anything. The Republicans are locked down for the November elections and are practicing hubris 24/7, ie: McCrory and the prayerful Republicans that are making "Death Prayers" to kill/die of President Obama.
The states and possibly cities and towns will have to pass laws to protect their people. Local economies and local government, ie: Boston.
The local authorities have to open up the detectives ability of investigate any suspicious activity. The detectives have authority because they work directly for the FBI when the facts arise. This is all constitutional. A person can be held for 48 hours without being charged. Use every advantage offered by the system. There is also Immigration laws.
USE THEM and don't let politics effect the outcome. Local people are to be safe and know they are safe. There will be mistakes made, but, the bigger mistake ends up in dead Americans.
If the law enforcement needs role models there are people like Police Commissioner Bratton. Respect people that are unarmed. Practice good police science. The local authorities can have their own "Most Wanted." The laws have to be addressed to allow the system work.
Newspapers need to expand their circulations. If the industry is selling more papers or computer access the prices can come down as the subscription grows.
Local citizens will need information and they will need the 'moral police' on the beat.
There is a balance here and it needs to exist. As the balance of dueling authorities grows 'the system' will become obvious and more stable than before. People should be safe, they pay for it. The citizen is the person responsible for 'the system' and they have a right to be protected by it.
President Obama has been an incredible leader to this country. There is every reason to be proud of him and his accomplishes both at home and abroad. The dysfunctional Congress has a hand in this and people need to remember that. The interstate federal laws are very important. The movement of drugs and guns has to end. Laws to secure this country away from the drug economy has to be established.
There is no reason why the gun violence continues in this country. The gunmen involved in this have too much access to empower their goals. These people are not crazy. The gunman from Colorado even ACTED to appear crazy and he is sound of mind and body.
Enough of this and we have the power to change the odds in the communities across the USA.

The mass shooting in Orlando (click here) on Sunday was appalling in scale: 49 killed in a single attack. But it’s not unusual for dozens of Americans to be killed by guns in a single day.
Gun homicides are a common cause of death in the United States, killing about as many people as car crashes (not counting van, truck, motorcycle or bus accidents). Some cases command our attention more than others, of course. Counting mass shootings that make headlines and the thousands of Americans murdered one or a few at a time, gunshot homicides totaled 8,124 in 2014, according to the F.B.I.
This level of violence makes the United States an extreme outlier when measured against the experience of other advanced countries....
