As I noted guys, I was only speculating that the Youtube shooter might have acquired or picked up the gun just before the shooting. That's not a fact, just a pondering based on the vagueness and resistance of the gun range owner and shop when approached by local reporters.
We don't know yet if she visited Northern California more than 10 days before the shooting and then returned to carry out the shooting.
It's equally possible she'd acquired it somewhere else much earlier and had it all along her road trip.
In any case, California does have a 10 day waiting period and requires a safety certification. And, concealed carry permits are only issued based on 'good cause'. I don't know whether she had a concealed carry permit or not.
While regulations here are stricter than most states, lots of Californians own legally bought and sold guns, some people break the law, and the state sure isn't exempt from mass shootings.
While she seems nutty as hell, the Youtube shooter wouldn't have been in NICS unless she'd been legally declared mentally unfit by a judge (rarely happens) and that ruling had been passed on to the Feds.
Anyway, I suspect we'll find out more details about her legally purchased and registered Smith and Wesson 9MM as the investigation continues and LE updates the media.
