I think another issue is that the shooter was able to gain access to the weapons not only because his mother had them in the house, but because they weren't locked up. I own a $200 safe from Canadian Tire(required by law), and there is no way anyone is getting in without a key, or some other serious kind of hardware.

Anyone that is familiar with gun safety, and has half a brain does the same.
I have two safe's, one for ammo, the other for the guns. Never in the same one. Also when I leave the house on vacation (like this week in Indy) I take the bolts out of the rifles and barrels from the semi auto pistols and still cable lock them and put them in the safe.
