It's illegal for a felon to own a firearm in the US ... so even if Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley got his gun from a private sale by a legal owner, it was illegal for him to buy it. Or even accept it as a gift.

Police say Brinsley used a semiautomatic Taurus handgun, bought in 1996 at a pawn shop in Atlanta by someone else, to kill the two officers before turning the gun on himself. Authorities don’t yet know how the gun got into Brinsley’s hands. But federal law prohibits gun sales to convicted felons. Brinsley would have been barred from legally purchasing a firearm since he had already served two years in prison for firing a stolen gun in Georgia .......... gunproplus.com
