Depending on the state, if one does this without going thru an FFL or selling CPL to CPL, they become a felon, so , again, another law might stop this ?

You can get 26 round extended mags for a .45 glock but not in California. The mag would have been illegal so no, he didn't do things openly and legally.

This nation is deep in firearms and mental illness. I guess your revengeful god allows his followers in churches to get shot up also.

He might have purchased the handgun legally in California, but the magazine he could have went across the border into Nevada.

Then again, he could have just had a regular Uzi, some of them are pretty small and can be mistaken for a hand gun, there are probably LOTs of Uzis floating around the Southern CA area too.

Jonah 3
1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
This should be in the religion forum.

Right, breaking a slew of Federal Firearms laws. And just wait, even more will be proposed, because you know, one more might just help. Will it be 24 hours or less before we see the politicians screaming for more gun control ?
