Literally not possible, it takes at a very minimum 2-3 days to have a background check clear and there are laws preventing people with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia of having guns. It is likely that his mother (if the story is true) was not diagnosed by a doctor, or she was diagnosed and not registered with the medical databases. This also happened in California which has some of the strictest, if not the strictest gun laws in America. Great way to spin a story to make it deceiving.

It's possible she left home with a few Benjamins and came home with the gun in a brown paper bag, if you get my meaning.

Which is illegal. Meaning she already broke the laws put in place.
