A win for public safety or a government ploy? California set to require background check for ammo sales. The bustle inside LAX Ammunition on the Friday before Father’s Day betrayed the gloom of the outside sky. Employees inside the Los Angeles-area gun shop had their hands full chatting with customers who were looking to replenish their ammo supply before July 1, with some customers spending hundreds of dollars in the process. Why the hurry? That’s the day a new state law will require almost all buyers to go through background checks before being able to buy bullets, potentially increasing the amount of time and money it takes to make purchases.

Cyprus was hit by a huge explosion last night after a Russian-made missile apparently strayed off course from Syria. The missile, believed to be a Syrian anti-aircraft weapon, exploded in Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus in the early hours of this morning, causing a huge mountainside blaze. Initial investigations suggested the missile was an S-200 model made in Soviet Union 1985 - a key ally of Syria and its leader Bashar al-Assad - and could have been knocked off course by jamming technology. Syrian forces had been using the missiles to fend off Israeli warplane attacks last night, but one of them appears to have missed its target and come down 200 miles away in Cyprus. 🚀🔥
Tens of thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Hong Kong this afternoon following clashes at the city's legislature on the 22nd anniversary of the territory's return to China from Britain. Protesters tried to storm the Legislative Council building, using a metal cart and poles to smash windows amid anger over a controversial extradition bill. Riot police armed with pepper spray, gas masks and shields guarded the facility from within. Earlier today, police swooped on protesters who had blockaded a street near the site of the government's flag-raising ceremony to mark the handover, beating some with batons as they fell to the ground, and used pepper spray to try to disperse crowds. 🔥 #retract
