Lead
The California-facing item today is TTAG on the state gutting its 3D printer gun bill (AB 2047 in the slug). The pool is title-only: no vote, chapter, or effective date. That is counter-question fuel, not a DROS, roster, printer-sales, or 80-percent process change from this headline. Fresh product flow is an enclosed MOS optic, a Vortex reticle option, a WOOX grip, and a Colt scope review. Yesterday’s CRPA rights-restoration note, GPO mount, GOA NFA update, and USPSA primer are still in the pool; they are not re-briefed. No USCCA or Delta Defense item. No dated vote or two-week deadline in the titles.

The AB 2047 3D-printer bill is the only California policy headline, and it is title-only. Product flow today is MOS enclosed glass, a Vortex reticle option, and a walnut grip, not roster handguns. National suppressor export and NFA talk is still in the feeds; it is not a California inventory change.
