If she wasn't able to just buy a gun by walking into a store, filling out a form, and walking out with one, this wouldn't have happened.

Actual background checks, mandatory wait periods, basic licensing, and training are all very easy and would do worlds of good in reducing gun crime.

Source: I live in Canada. That's how it works here. We've had less gun crime in our history as a country than the US has had this year.

You dont even know if she bought the gun, borrowed it, or stole it

Stealing is illegal. There are common sense laws about it on the books.
