It would punish the man for his wrongdoing: If he knew his son was facing felony charges and gave him a gun anyways, they he committed a serious crime and nine people are dead because of it.

And the problem with the loophole, as Frank pointed out, is that getting a conviction will mean convincing a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the father knew his son was charged with a felony and gave him the gun anyway.
