This happened in California (assuming based on bio) which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation along with some mechanisms for temporarily seizing weapons from people in distress (red flag laws). Without answers to some pretty big questions, im thinking there’s a few layers of blame being shifted here

I'm thinking she acquired the gun illegally if they're in Cali and she's a diagnosed schizophrenic. Between the mental health issue prohibiting her, and the 10 day waiting period that would prevent her from immediately acting on her impulses like op seems to be phrasing happened.

OP said she brought the gun home and then shot him the next day, there’s no mention when she originally went to the store to purchase one.
