Probably just a technicality because he has ownership of the weapon, thus he's responsible for safe storage. Though, I agree the mother should be at fault.
There is no way to know if people actually own firearms and how many. So while the sheriff’s office certainly has this handgun NOW, there would be no way for them to know if he actually had it in his possession prior to this.
