To my knowledge, the mother of the Oregon massacre can not be prosecuted for the actions of her son even though we'll most likely find out that the guns he used were in fact purchased by her. (If not, I apologize).
Whether or not they were locked up shouldn't matter. If the parent and child (in this case) live in the same residence, that's all the proof that's required.
An easy law to pass, which should be somewhat of a deterrent, would be to make the weapon provider as culpable as the person that pulled the trigger.
In this case, she serves 8 life terms. And her property and assets are also subject to litigation.
If you know you live with an unstable person and have guns that are accessible, you yourself are on a slippery slope.
