Lead
This 24h pool is thin for a California counter. The only new California-origin item is CRPA's "(Still) Fighting Back Against Big Brother" post. Title-only; the pool names no bill, agency, or deadline. Product news a shop can actually stock is SIG Sauer's XRAY5 solid-state matrix red dot. Strike Industries' FSA LITE folding stabilizer and Taurus's brace-ready TX22 are accessory and pistol news that run into California AW and brace rules. Recoil has a first look at a CZ DUTY pistol series; new handguns are roster-gated. San Diego County's 3D-filament suit and NSSF's OCC bank-discrimination write-up are still in the pool; they were yesterday's lead. No USCCA or Delta Defense item by name. No new DROS, roster, or ATF counter rule.

California-origin news is CRPA's Big Brother post, title-only. The product that can hit a CA case is SIG's XRAY5 optic. Brace and folding-stabilizer launches (Taurus TX22, Strike FSA LITE) and a new CZ pistol series are not California counter SKUs without roster and AW checks. Yesterday's San Diego filament suit and NSSF OCC bank piece remain in the pool. School-shooting recap, garage .50 BMG, SAF talking points, NFA podcast, and photo-of-the-day are not dealer work.
