{This depends on the local and state laws in effect where the crime occurred.}
The weapon being a Desert Eagle (Magnum Research) means nothing. The fact that it is handgun does. They come in .357 Magnum, 44 Magnum and 50AE ; a 22 handgun and a 50AE handgun are the same in the eyes of the law: they are either legal or not based on the state or whether the state has a concealed carry license. There are stronger handguns that are faster to use and more powerful { 0.500 Magnum Revolver }, these are for fun: having something most people don't.
There is a faulty assumption that a 'Desert Eagle' is meant for 'only killing humans' {grrrr CSI - wrong!} when in fact professional killers are most often known to use .22 up to the base of the head. The large calibers used in the Desert Eagles are too loud and unwieldy for assassin work. When fired rapidly (1 per sec) a DE is totally inaccurate and basically useless for defense. A rate of fire of 1 every 2 seconds is more controllable, but for most users 1/3 secs would allow necessary accuracy. {A bolt action rifle can be fired faster, 3 shots per every 2 secs.}
A Desert Eagle costs between $900 and $2500, not something you would want taken from you for any time (as happens when a shooting event occurs, police take the gun.) The cost of using the weapon is prohibitive: about $0.30 per shot for .357, $0.45 per .44, and just under $0.70 per .50AE**. A magazine therefore would be $2.40, $3.60 and $4.90. Practice (at least 10 magazines a month) = $24.00, $36.00 and $49.00.
If the 'fact' that it is for 'killing only' is misstated, it can be pointed out that a semi-automatic weapon is the same thing as a revolver with extra chambers: 7 or 8 or 10 rather than 5 or 6. The caliber means nothing - either the gun is legal or not.
** From personal experience, a Desert Eagle's slide is so heavy that low cost ammunition will not cycle the action and the bullets become jammed: only premium ammunition will allow semi-automatic action.
