Senate passes historic gun bill hours after major 2nd amendment ruling from Supreme Court

The Senate passed the first significant firearms legislation in decades in the wake of two mass shootings earlier this year. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was passed by a 65-33 vote just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court issued an historic ruling that states and communities can't infringe the right of Americans to carry firearms in public.

The bill will now go to the Democrat-controlled House where it is likely to pass.

• Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz slammed the bill, saying it "won't stop violent crime and will undermine your rights."
• Other Senators celebrated the bill's passage, including Kristen Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)
