The shotgun and rifle were obtained through a straw purchase - someone able to legally buy a gun bought them for Harris and Klebold. Although straw purchases are highly illegal, and punishable under federal law, the person who made the straw purchases (Robyn Anderson) was never prosecuted for it.

The handgun (a Tec 9) was purchased illegally, from a man by the name of Mark Manes, who, unlike Robyn Anderson, did face prosecution for selling a handgun to a minor, as did the man who introduced him to Harris and Klebold (Philip Duran).

Who bought the guns for harris and Eric?

The guns used by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold in the Columbine High School shooting were purchased by a friend named Robyn Anderson. She was 18 at the time and bought the firearms at a gun show, which allowed her to bypass the background checks that would have been required for the shooters themselves. Anderson later testified that she had no idea the weapons would be used in the attack.
