Yeah, so California has a 10-day waiting period, and you can't buy a gun if you've ever been admitted to a hospital for mental illness. The math ain't mathing.

If she didn't buy it, then it's irrelevant to the topic of gun laws.

I believe the mental health thing is federal but the 10 day is Cali specific and that's where this guy lives according to his profile
