I agree with everything you stated but in the interest of clarity the WA state SC ruled that if a person resides with a prohibited individual the non-prohibited individual must make sure the prohibited person cannot access the firearm. It needs to be locked up in a safe without the prohibited persons knowledge of the safe combo.

It was intended to not suspend a non-prohibited persons 2A rights because they were married or residing with a prohibited person.

So in any case there is already a law (actually many) that would have prevented this tragic accident.
