Legislative roadblock
Since Gabrielle Giffords and 18 other people were shot in Tucson five years ago, lawmakers have introduced more than 100 gun control proposals in Congress. Not one of them has become law, and few even made it to the House or Senate floor. The Senate is about to vote on four new proposals -- all expected to fail. What's stopping new firearms legislation, and could it change soon?
Newtown suit
Today a judge will begin considering whether a gunmaker should face trial over the Sandy Hook school shooting. A lawsuit blames the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the attack that left more than 20 people dead. We speak to the Barden family, who lost their son in the shooting.
"Marines out!"
There are 50,000 U.S. troops on the Japanese island of Okinawa -- a 70-year military presence that many residents are fed up with. With an ex-U.S. Marine the prime suspect in a brutal murder case, voices demanding a new reality are getting louder. We hear from them, and the American commander in charge.
Summer arrives
The first day of summer will be a scorcher for more than 30 million Americans in the Southwest. Temperatures there could reach up to 121 degrees in some spots. Dangerous temperatures are also making it more difficult on crews battling wildfires in several states.
Anton Yelchin
The rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the new "Star Trek" films was killed by his own car as it rolled down his driveway, apparently after not putting it into park correctly. We've now learned that the car he was driving was a model investigated by the government for possible "unintended gear selection" issues.
Mile High, going once...
Bankrupt sporting goods company Sports Authority wants to auction the naming rights of the stadium of the Denver Broncos, angering the NFL franchise. With bids due in a week, we look at a legal case that could have major implications for the big-budget world of sports marketing.
Sugar and spice
Philadelphia is the largest U.S. city to impose a tax on sugary drinks in a bid to raise revenue and encourage healthy eating. Could salt be the next menu item targeted by cities? Other countries levy such a tax, with experts saying a small tax on salt can spur food producers to make healthier choices.
