>> tonight, the senate passed a bipartisan bill the white house calls one of the most significant steps congress has taken to reduce gun violence in decades. the vote led to celebration on the senate floor. earlier in the day, 15 republican senators, including minority leader mitch mcconnell, joined all democrats to break a filibuster on the bill. the legislation offers grants to states for red flag laws and crisis prevention programs. it would enhance background checks for anyone 18-21 years old who tries to buy a gun and clarify which sellers are required to register as firearm licensees. that would require them to conduct background checks on potential buyers. >> it's not the measure i would have written if i had been doing it alone, but it marks meaningful progress. if you wait to get everything in the united states senate, chances are you will get nothing. progress is better than nothing. this measure will save lives.

become the wild, wild west. >> things won't change overnight, but getting a license to carry in new york will become a lot easier. for example, people who want to carry a concealed gun will still need a license, pass the background check, fingerprint and registration. what they will have to do is convince local officials they have a special need for a license. >> most people seem to support it. >> you feel less safe? >> i will. i think when i feel like people are carrying guns and there are more guns on the streets, yes. >> justice stephen breyer mentioned the 277 mass shootings that have occurred this year, saying the court's decision does not consider the potentially deadly consequences. samuel alito firing back, writing how does the dissent account for the fact that one of the mass shootings took place in buffalo. the new york law at issue in this case obviously did not stop the perpetrator. the head of a gun rights group that brought the case to the

supreme court saying he's relieved at the outcome. >> we are not the problem. the problem is the criminals and the wrongdoers in the state and the politicians have to learn that. >> 80 million americans live in states with laws similar to new york's. right now, their laws are just as vulnerable. morgan norwood, abc news, los angeles. >> governor newsom issued a statement saying california is ready with a bill that will update and strengthen our public carry law and make it consistent with the supreme court ruling, just as chief justice roberts and justice kavanaugh said states like california are free to do. >> the supreme court also decided that law enforcement cannot be sued for money damages when they fail to provide the miranda warning prior to questioning. a sheriff's deputy was sued after he failed to read a miranda warning to a los angeles hospital worker accused of sexually assaulting a patient. today, justices ruled 6-3 in favor of the deputy. the focus of the case determined whether the constitutional right

of the warning applied to criminal suspects prior to talking to authorities. >> we want to check back in on the weather as we inch closer to the weekend. still worried about the fires. dion: sandhya patel watching it all. sandhya: one of the biggest factors has been the multi-year drought in the bay area, a lack of rain the first few months of this year obviously playing a role. let's take a look at the fire danger index. fire danger is year-round, but one of the things we consider is the dryness, the heat, and of course, the winds. it's going to be breezy, high to very high uv index is expected, which is really for our inland, east bay, so keep that in mind. be aware no matter where you are these days. overall, we are obviously dealing with fire danger because of all of those ongoing conditions. the winds will be gusting tomorrow, although they will be on short 27 miles an hour fairfield, 26 livermore.
