>>> GOOD EVENING PICKETS THURSDAY, JUNE 23rd.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

AT A TIME WHEN CONGRESS IS ON THE VERGE OF PASSING THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT GUN SAFETY LAWS IN YEARS, THE SUPREME COURT IS TAKING A BIG STEP TO PEEL SOME BACK.

ALL HAS TO DO WITH WHO IS ALLOWED TO CARRY A GUN IN PUBLIC.

WE HAVE TWO REPORTS TONIGHT, INCLUDING WHAT THIS COULD MEAN FOR CALIFORNIA, BUT FIRST WILL BE EXPLAINED TODAY'S RULING.

>> Reporter: THIS DECISION ISN'T JUST RECKLESS, IT'S REPREHENSIBLE.

>> Reporter: FIERCE REACTION AFTER THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN A NEW YORK LAW ENACTED MORE THAN A CENTURY AGO, WHICH RESTRICTED THE CARRYING OF CONCEALED HANDGUNS OUTSIDE THE HOME.

THE NEW YORK STATE RIFLE AND PISTOL ASSOCIATION HAD ARGUED THE LAW WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS, WRITING FOR THE 6-3, AGREED, BECAUSE THE STATE OF NEW YORK ISSUES PUBLIC CARRY LICENSES ONLY WHEN AN APPLICANT DEMONSTRATES A SPECIAL NEED FOR SELF-DEFENSE, WE CONCLUDE THAT THE STATE LICENSING REGIME VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION.

THE DECISION IS THE WHITEST EXPANSION OF GUN RIGHTS IN A DECADE.

IT COMES ON THE HEELS OF A WAVE OF DEADLY MASS SHOOTINGS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MOST RECENTLY AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN TEXAS, AND A SUPERMARKET IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK.

>> WE CANNOT ALLOW NEW YORK TO BECOME THE WILD WEST.

DOORMAT IN A DISSENT JOINED BY OTHER LIBERAL MEMBERS OF THE COURT, JUSTICE STEPHEN BREYER WROTE THE RULING WOULD SEVERELY BURDEN STATES EFFORTS TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE, BUT THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION HAILED THE DECISION, CALLING IT A MONUMENTAL WIN FOR ENTERING MEMBERS AND GUNOWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> THE RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE IS THE CORE OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT, AND THAT IS WHAT THIS CASE IN NEW YORK IS ABOUT.

>>> TODAY'S RULING OPENS UP NEW POTENTIAL CHALLENGES TO SOME OF CALIFORNIA'S GUN PROTECTION LAWS.

WE HAVE REACTION FROM LEGAL EXPERTS ON WHAT THE FUTURE MIGHT HOLD FOR GUN RIGHTS AND PUBLIC SAFETY.

>> Reporter: IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, MICHAEL SCHWARTZ WITH THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY GUNOWNERS HAILED THE SUPREME COURT DECISION, ADDING HAVE MADE THE CASE THAT CARRYING A FIREARM OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME FOR SELF-DEFENSE IS A RIGHT.

STATE LAWMAKERS SLAMMED THE RULING, WITH GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM TWEETING THAT THE DECISION TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO CARRY CONCEALED GUNS IN PUBLIC WAS A DARK DAY FOR AMERICA.

STATE ASSEMBLYMAN CHRIS WARD SAYS LAWMAKERS ARE NOW WORRIED ABOUT A FLOOD OF LAWSUITS CHALLENGING THE STATE'S LAW BANNING ASSAULT WEAPONS, GHOST GUNS, AND LARGE MAGAZINES.

>> DEEPLY ALARMED.

CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN VERY RESPONSIBLE, LEADING THE NATION IN COMMON SENSE GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION.

>> Reporter: CALIFORNIA HAS SOME OF THE TOUGHEST GUN RESTRICTIONS IN THE COUNTRY.

WARD HIMSELF COSPONSORED LEGISLATION TO MAKE IT EASIER TO SUE GUN MANUFACTURERS.

WITHIN HOURS OF THE HIGH COURT RULING, THE GOVERNOR AND LAWMAKERS VOWED TO SHORE UP THE STATES GUN LAWS TO SURVIVE FUTURE COURT CHALLENGES.

>> WE ARE TALKING ALREADY BETWEEN THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE, INTRODUCING DEFLATION TO SPECIFY WHERE A CONCEALED WEAPON COULD BE CARRIED.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE HAVING A THING ABOUT HOW WE TERM THE ASSESSMENT OF DANGEROUSNESS AS A CONSIDERATION FOR HOW CONCEALED CARRY PERMITS COULD BE ISSUED.

>> Reporter: THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ISSUED THIS STATEMENT SAYING THE STATES CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT PROCESS REMAINS IN EFFECT, AS ARE LAWS WHICH PROHIBIT OR SOMEONE CAN CARRY A GUN, INCLUDING SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

THE COUNTY IS ALREADY BRACING FOR AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE APPLYING FOR CONCEALED CARRY LICENSES.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> MORE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW AND ON MONDAY , AND THAT INCLUDES THE ABORTION RIGHTS CASE IN WHICH JUSTICES HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY ARE LIKELY TO LIMIT ABORTION ACCESS.

ANOTHER RULING OF NOTE TODAY INVOLVES THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES RULED 6-3 THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN'T BE SUED FOR FINANCIAL DAMAGES IF THEY FAIL TO PROVIDE THE WARNING DURING AN ARREST.

THE CASE INVOLVES A MAN FROM LOS ANGELES.

JUST DO DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED.

>> Reporter: NOW THAT RESOURCE WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE IN NORTH COUNTY.

ONE SAFE PLACE, A NORTH COUNTY FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER, WILL OPEN IN SAN MARCOS IN JULY.

THE 40,000 SQUARE-FOOT FACILITY WILL PROVIDE HELP TO VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, CHILD OR ELDER ABUSE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

THE PROJECT IS BEING LED BY THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

THE DA SAYS NORTH COUNTY HAS LONG NEEDED A RESOURCE LIKE THIS.

>> NORTH COUNTY IS HOME TO ABOUT A THIRD OF OUR POPULATION, AND 42% TO 46% OF THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDES HAPPEN IN THE NORTH COUNTY, AND 56% OF THE ELDER ABUSE, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SERVICES TO INTERFERE, INTERVENE BEFORE THAT VIOLENCE ESCALATES INTO A HOMICIDE.

>> Reporter: WITH THE HELP OF 74 COMMUNITY PARTNERS, THE CENTER WILL OFFER FORENSIC MEDICAL EXAMS, COUNSELING, THERAPY, HOUSING RESOURCES, CLOTHING, AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE.

>> THE MINUTE THEY WALK IN, THEY ARE GOING TO BE GREETED BY A WELCOME AMBASSADOR, WHO IS GOING TO SAY WE ARE HERE TO HELP, AND WALK THEM THROUGH.

THEN WE ARE GOING TO CONDUCT WHAT WE CALL AN INTAKE, ARE THERE ANY FIREARMS, ARE THEY BEING TRACKED, CAN WE COME UP WITH A SAFETY PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, THIS ELDER ABUSE, THIS CHILD ABUSE DOES NOT BECOME A HOMICIDE.

>> Reporter: CLAUDIA IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER.

>> WE ARE AIMING TO MEET THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS, AND THEN THE LONG-TERM NEEDS.

WE DON'T WANT THIS TO BE A ONE AND DONE.

WE WANT THIS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP.

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS ONE SAFE PLACE IS FOR THE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST VICTIMS OF ABUSE.

THE CENTER WILL ALSO OFFER EDUCATIONAL CLASSES TO THE PUBLIC, AS WELL AS ANYONE NEEDING RESOURCES.

THE CENTER WILL OFFICIALLY OPEN ITS DOORS ON JULY 5th.

TODAY THEY ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD.

THE CITY HOPES TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETE BY THE FOURTH OF JULY.

>>> CALIFORNIA HAD A DRY WINTER , AND A DRY SPRING, AND NOW AS WE MOVE INTO THE HOTTEST AND DRIEST MONTHS OF THE YEAR, THERE IS A NEW CALL FOR SAN DIEGANS TO SAVE OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE.

>> EXTRAORDINARY, NEVER BEFORE CONSERVATION MEASURES ARE NOT ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA, TO AVOID THE COLLAPSE OF THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM ON THE COLORADO RIVER.

>> Reporter: BUT IT WASN'T ALL BAD NEWS.

IN FACT, HE HAD HIGH PRAISE FOR THE WAY SAN DIEGANS HAVE STEPPED UP, AND LEADERS PLANNED FOR DAYS WITHOUT RAIN, INCLUDING THE DESALINATION PLANT.

>> THE INVESTMENTS THAT YOU HAVE MADE IN RECENT YEARS AND DECADES HAVE BUILT YOUR RESILIENCE TO THE CONDITIONS WE NOW FACE, AND FRANKLY SAN DIEGO IS BETTER OFF THAN MANY AREAS OF THE STATE BECAUSE OF THOSE INVESTMENTS.

>> Reporter: WHILE MARY TODD GLORIA SAYS HE IS PROUD OF THOSE WHO HAVE STEPPED UP, HE URGED SAN DIEGANS TO DO MORE SO THAT THE WARNINGS DON'T TURN INTO MANDATORY WATER RESTRICTIONS.

>> WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS HAVE SAN DIEGANS IN A POSITION WHERE THEY ARE CAUGHT BY SURPRISE, THAT THESE WORSENING CONDITIONS AROUND US ESCAPE THEIR NOTICE, AND SOMEHOW WE ARE STEPPING IN WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS, MORE PUNITIVE RESPONSES.

WE DON'T HAVE TO GET TO THAT, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT SAN DIEGANS KNOW HOW TO CONSERVE WATER.

4 DESPITE THE HIGH PRAISE, THIS WAS A CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL SAN DIEGANS.

>> SAN DIEGO IN MANY WAYS HAS LED THE WAY, BUT NONE OF US ARE IMMUNE FROM THE UNPRECEDENTED DROUGHT CONDITIONS THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING, SO I AM ASKING, I AM SHARING THAT SAN DIEGANS BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS, NEED TO STEP UP TO STRETCH THEIR WATER SUPPLIES.

EVEN STILL, AIRLINES GOT SMALLER, OFFERING EMPLOYEES EARLY OUT AND RETIREMENT PACKAGES.

>> I'M TREMENDOUSLY ANGRY.

SOUTHWEST AND DELTA PILOTS HAVE PICKETED TO SAY THEY ARE OVERWORKED.

AIRLINES INSIST THEY ARE HIRING HUNDREDS OF NEW WORKERS EACH MONTH, WHILE DEALING WITH STORMS AND AIR-TRAFFIC CONTROL ISSUES.

>> I'M NEVER SEEN A MELTDOWN OF THIS PROPORTION.

THE FACT IS THE AIRLINES STILL REFUSE TO OWN THIS.

HE SAYS NONE OF THEM SHOULD BE OUT THERE.

THAT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 12,000 MISSING PEOPLE IN BAJA CALIFORNIA.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS HER ADMINISTRATION IS PRIORITIZING THESE CASES.

THE STATE AGENCY TASKED WITH FINDING MISSING PERSONS SAYS THEY FOUND 90 PEOPLE LAST YEAR, COMPARED TO 10 YEAR BEFORE.

CRITICS SAY THAT PROGRESS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

HE JOINED IN FEBRUARY, SHORTLY AFTER HIS BROTHER WENT MISSING.

HE SAYS THE COLLECTIVE IS LIKE A FAMILY.

PARENTS OF MISSING CHILDREN COME TOGETHER, BONDED BY THE PAIN.

HE SAYS THEY FIND HOPE IN THEIR SHARED MISSION TO FIND THEIR LOVED ONES.
