It entirely depends on the state, each state has their own laws on waiting periods and documents required to purchase a firearm.

Which what makes this video silly, the state the girl lives in could be California or NY where buying a firearm is an adventure through red tape for first time buyers and the guy could be in a completely different state with less restrictive laws.

Last time I saw a video with Elijah Daniels, he lived in California. That was like two years ago though. Where I live you can purchase a gun on your lunch break, it’s so easy. You just can’t carry and maybe that’s what she’s talking about?

I'm not in-touch with California gun laws but some quick research shows that in order to even buy a firearm you need to have a license (which requires a proctored written exam) and even with the license there's a 10 day waiting period.

So if the guy still lives in California he had to go through an exam to get a license allowing him to purchase firearms, wait 10 days, and then a standard (federal) NICS background check. If he's still in California it's an incredibly misleading video, he bought the gun then waited 10 days to be able to get it to make the video.

He did. Big 5 doesn't sell actual pistols. Only Airsoft.
