gun control related bills that are at about the halfway point in the legislative process. >> normally if passed, these bills would be signed in the fall. but governor gavin newsom wants to speed up that timeline requesting that they be on his desk ready to sign by the end of next month. >> we mean business, we are resolved in this fight. we're not giving up not getting into the cynicism. we're going to turn this around. governor gavin newsom and democratic legislative leaders vowing to fast track gun control bills through the state legislature following a series of shootings in the state and across the country. >> we have to turn it around before another neighbor, mother teacher, our child is senselessly, ripped from our world. the bills include one modeled after texas's abortion law allowing private citizens to sue the makers and sellers of illegal assault weapons and ghost guns. some have raised concerns about its legality. the governor confident it will be effective. we want to save lives. they use that to put women's lives at risk. >> we're going to use that the door. they open that law and

that process to enforce a private right of action to get these guns off the street. other bills include efforts to strengthen ghost gun restrictions. a bill allowing local governments in the state attorney general to sue gun makers and sellers and one that restrict advertising firearms to minors. these would add to the more than 100 gun laws already in the state. i think we need to take a pause here and mourn with the victims. republican assemblyman james gallagher says there are other public safety efforts. the governor could fast track, including putting an end to some early release policies for felons in california prisons or going through the backlog of gun violence, restraining orders that would take guns from people who shouldn't have them. so we need to start talking about the underlying conditions that. >> and other issues that are leading to these mass shootings, another gun law, our history shows it's not going to solve that problem. well, the legislature works through the debate. the governor says he wants urgency clauses added to these gun control bills. that means they would go into effect as soon as he signs them.

majority leader chuck schumer says he won't try to force an immediate vote. he says he wants more time to win over support. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell did not address policy when he reacted to tuesday's shooting on the senate floor and florida republican senator rick scott said focus should be on mental health, not >> clearly have a mental health issue in this country. and we've got young men that for whatever reason and become violent. and we've got to figure that out. >> and there is, of course, an ongoing push to reach bipartisan support to make tougher gun laws happen. >> all right. time for another look at the forecast as we look live at this lovely shot overlooking san francisco. i feel like every other day it's been blue skies, no clouds in sight today. we've got a little bit of fog. it's cooling down a little bit more. lawrence karnow is here to tell us what we can expect. yeah, the next couple of days go. yeah. cooler weather on the bear. of course, the unofficial beginning of summer

this weekend with the more they holidays. so. >> yeah, a lot of folks to start to pack up, getting ready to go. maybe do a little camping in the weather. he is going to cooperate, least somewhat as we're seeing that fog rolling right now. that is going to help to cool you off. it is still hot in many spots inland, but it's that hot air rises that in more of that fog further into the bay and on shore into san francisco, you can see skies just a couple high clouds up above that you get out toward the zoo. you've got that fog that now moving on shore. and so we started to see a change in the pattern today that suddenly surge of low clouds and fog. typically what you get after you see a heat wave here in the bay area. all of a sudden high pressure begins to break down, moves a little for the dees. that fog is a creep up along the coastline. we're seeing that right now. in fact, you see that rolling on in. you see it all the way in half moon bay. but look at this. you're getting some winds here. these downslope winds moving to pacifica. it's actually 80 degrees of pacifica right now. but then that fog turns moves back on shore to san francisco and it's 60 degrees. pretty amazing phenomenon we're seeing right now across the bay area. still tonight that on shore breeze will strengthen overnight tonight and bring more clouds and fog.

look at that. well on shore all the way into the bay tomorrow morning and maybe into the delta as well. so a significant sea breeze will change. everything is high. pressure gets shoved to the east by this next cold front. not only we're going to see the fog. this front approaches. probably see some mid to high level clouds out there. so the temperatures are really going to start to back if you're headed out around the bay area tomorrow, you may need the jacket along the coastline numbers going to be the 50's there. but on some 60's 70's around most of the bay, instead of those 90's and triple digit temperatures that we've experienced over the last couple of days and the valleys looking to top out maybe in the low 80's by tomorrow afternoon. >> alright, large times. in san jose. the union school district has agreed to pay 7.5 million dollars to 5 man who were sexually abused by their teacher. those assaults were reported at their school bus in a bar elementary in the late 70's and early 80's. the man accused in u.s., thomas, who taught 4th and 5th graders and they say he assaulted them
