Not familiar with the MO law on this offense, but I can tell you that if you are charged under the Federal Statute (USC, Title 18) you could receive up to 15 years in a federal prison.

The separated spouse of a convicted felon is not legally prohibited from purchasing a firearm. HOWEVER, if it is contemplated that the convicted felon may be anywhere around the firearm, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE IN THE SAME RESIDENCE, it will place the convicted felon in "concurrent possession" of that firearm and he may be arrested, charged, and imprisoned. ALSO: If the evidence suggests, the prosecution MAY try to prove that the separated spouse knowingly conspired to supply the availability of the firearm to the felon, and charge them as an accessory.
Then I would imagine that there would be several reasons to hold the person involved. Unless the firearm was obtained while the felon was in a state of diminished capacity I would expect the possession charge to progress normally. The person had to have possession of the firearm to attempt suicide with it.
Felon = Federally prohibited from possessing a firearm. It is considered illegal in every state for a convicted felon to be in possession of a firearm. By definition, a firearm is a weapon that is designed to expel a projectile by the action of smokeless or black powder. A felony firearm charge can also be brought against convicted felon who is found in possession of a firearm, regardless of the intended or actual use of the weapon. The offense level for this type of felony firearm crime also varies by state but is greater when the gun is loaded, kept or used unlawfully. The laws governing the penalties for felony firearm crimes vary by state and the specific circumstances of the crime. A person can also be charged in a felony firearm case when they knowingly purchase a firearm for a felon, an offense called "straw" purchasing. It is also a felony firearm crime to purchase, or otherwise handle, a firearm with the intent of furnishing it to a convicted felon.
