Senate approves landmark bipartisan gun violence bill, clearing way for expected House passage

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate on Thursday easily approved a bipartisan gun violence bill that seemed unthinkable just a month ago, clearing the way for final congressional approval of what will be lawmakers' most far-reaching response in decades to the nation's run of brutal mass shootings.After years of GOP procedural delays that derailed Democratic efforts to curb firearms, Democrats and some Republicans decided that congressional inaction was untenable after last month’s rampages in New York and Texas. It took weeks of closed-door talks but a group of senators from both parties emerged with a compromise embodying incremental but impactful movement to curb bloodshed that has come to regularly shock — yet no longer surprise — the nation.The $13 billion measure would toughen background checks for the youngest gun buyers, keep firearms from more domestic violence offenders and help states put in place red flag laws that make it easier for authorities to take weapons from people adjudged dangerous.

Biden reacts to Supreme Court gun decision: 'Deeply disappointed'

WASHINGTON - President Biden is "deeply disappointed" with a Supreme Court gun decision that struck down a New York law restricting access to concealed carry permits Thursday.Biden released the statement hours after the Supreme Court released its decision. The New York law had required permit applicants to provide specific reasons for needing a firearm.

New York concealed carry case: Supreme Court rules against NY gun law

NEW YORK - The Supreme Court has ruled that New York's concealed carry statute that requires an individual to establish "proper cause" in order to obtain a license violates the Constitution by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense.New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen had been a long-term case against NY's handgun-licensing law.New York courts defined "proper cause" to require applicants to show a "special need" to defend themselves and not just wanted to protect themselves.The plaintiffs claimed that the Second Amendment gives people the right to bear arms."Thus, the nation is split, with the Second Amendment alive and well in the vast middle of the nation, and those same rights disregarded near the coasts," Clement wrote on behalf of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, or NYSRPA, and two residents.This was the court's first case on gun rights since Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the bench in October, making it a 6-3 conservative majority on the court.

Higher intensity group exercise may increase COVID-19 infection risk, study says

People run on treadmills at a New York Sports Club in Brooklyn, New York (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images) Previous studies have identified indoor group exercise as a situation where COVID-19 outbreaks can occur, but new research shows this can be exacerbated by the level of fitness intensity.In a study, published last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers in Germany designed a method for measuring aerosol particle emission (exhaled breath) at rest and during different exercise intensities among eight men and eight women. "By measuring aerosol particle concentration and ventilation in one individual, we were able to calculate aerosol particle emission that is a more direct measure of the risk of pathogen transmission by aerosol particles by one individual than the aerosol particle concentration in exhaled air or in room air," the study authors wrote.RELATED: New study reveals best time of day to work out for fat loss, muscle strengthResearchers found that people undertaking strenuous exercise produced on average 132 times more aerosol particles than when they are at rest, with no significant difference between women and men.In addition, fitter, endurance-trained subjects exhaled 85% more particles during maximal exercise than untrained subjects which was considered a significant difference, according to the team. "This finding can be used to design improved mitigation strategies for indoor group exercise," the study’s authors added, noting that the data has important implications for infection control during indoor group exercise.

Pain at the pump: Gas costs nearly $10 a gallon at this California station

MENDOCINO, Calif. - Each week, the price of gas across the country – but especially in California – gets impossibly higher.Just before Memorial Day, the Chevron on Alameda de las Pulgas in Menlo Park hit $7.25 a gallon.Then, this week, one Chevron in Los Angeles was selling gas for more than $8 a gallon. And now, we've spotted gasoline costing $9.50 a gallon at a gas station in Mendocino. These prices are well over the average price of gas in the Golden State, which last weekend surpassed $6 a gallon for the first time ever, according to the AAA. This is an all-time high for the state.Breaking it down by cities, on Friday, the average price in Oakland is $6.37 a gallon, San Jose is $6.38 a gallon and San Francisco is $6.50 a gallon. The prices are curbing drivers' plans. Laura Dena and her sons would have typically go to Southern California around Memorial Day weekend to escape Arizona’s scorching heat.

Biden calls for tougher gun laws following series of mass shootings: 'How much more carnage?'

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden delivered an impassioned plea to Congress to act on gun control Thursday night in an address to the nation, calling on lawmakers to restore limits on the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines after a string of mass shootings in the country.Speaking at the White House, Biden sought to drive up pressure on Congress to pass stricter gun limits after such efforts failed following past attacks."How much more carnage are we willing to accept," Biden said after last week's shootings by an 18-year-old gunman, who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and another attack on Wednesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a gunman shot and killed four people and himself at a medical office.And those came after the May 14 assault in Buffalo, New York, where a white 18-year-old wearing military gear and livestreaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood, killing 10 people and wounding three others in what authorities described as "racially motivated violent extremism."All major broadcast networks broke away from regular programing to carry Biden’s remarks at 7:30 p.m. EDT, before the start of primetime shows.
