I know he was legally allowed to have a gun that evening but is there still controversy surrounding it’s purchase and sale?

What controversy?
The judge dismissed the weapons charge.
Any controversy would be with respect to whomever made the purchase, not Kyle. Whether or not that qualifies as a straw purchase may be a pretty close question because the statute’s first clause is “or”, meaning that “purchasing” it for someone else may be enough even if the other person doesn’t yet “possess” it. Kind of an interesting legal issue, actually.
