Lead
The 24-hour pool has a Sacramento item: TTAG says three restrictive California gun bills are on Governor Newsom's desk, with SB 948 named only in the URL slug. That is the only in-window California statute story. Nationally, two TTAG pieces say DOJ reopened federal gun-rights restoration after a 34-year freeze and that the first nonviolent offenders are getting federal rights back. That is a counter question on a federal letter, not a DROS or CA DOJ rewrite. What a shop can actually put on the floor from this pool is a Tandemkross .22 competition rifle and new polymer ammo packaging. Springfield's new Kuna is a 9mm pistol and is not a roster gun from this headline. No USCCA or Delta Defense item. No dated vote or two-week deadline in the titles.

Three California gun bills head to Newsom
TTAG reports three restrictive anti-gun bills are headed to Governor Newsom. The slug names SB 948. The other two bills are not named in the pool.
For a CA shopTrack the package through counsel or a California trade group before you change a transfer script. Do not treat a headline as an effective date.

DOJ reopens federal gun-rights restoration
TTAG says the feds reopened rights restoration after a 34-year freeze, and that the first nonviolent offenders are getting federal gun rights back under a new DOJ program. Title-only. Not a California prohibited-person rewrite.
For a CA shopA federal restoration does not automatically clear a California prohibition. Keep running DROS. Send "I got my rights back" customers to an attorney. Do not override a deny on a blog headline.

Congressman presses ATF on suppressor ruling
A member of Congress is asking ATF for answers on a suppressor ruling. FFLs will get can and Form 4 questions. The pool is title-only.
For a CA shopNo California civilian silencer path from this headline. Do not tell a customer they can skip NFA paper. Keep selling only what you can legally transfer.

Tandemkross TKX22 light rifle
TTAG reviewed the TKX22, a competition .22 rifle built for speed. A long gun a CA shop can put in the case under existing rifle rules.
For a CA shopAsk your distributor if you already move competition rimfire. No SKU or CA note in the pool.

Polymer SixPAC ammo packaging
TFB flags a polymer SixPAC pack as a major ammunition packaging change. Dealer-ops news on how ammo ships and sits on the shelf, not a new cartridge.
For a CA shopWatch how your ammo vendors pack and invoice if you already buy in bulk. No SKU, price, or CA note in the pool.

Threadlines
Sacramento is back in the pool as bills on the governor's desk, not as a DROS or roster change with a date. Federal restoration copy will show up at the counter; it does not rewrite California prohibited-person rules. What is actually stockable here is a rimfire competition rifle and ammo packaging, not a new roster pistol or a can.
