Parents should be automatic accomplices if a weapon they own is used by their child if there was no forced entry to the gun safe, because they clearly didn't secure it from the child properly.
They should make a device that detects when a safe or case is opened and sends alerts to your phone. Honesty seems easy as heck could be a college level project to design something you could retrofit on safes. Then theres no way anyone properly storing weapons could claim they didn't know.
You can do this with most DIY alarm systems. Mount a door sensor inside the cabinet, triggers when opened.
Useful for liquor cabinets too.

I'd think the trick with a gun cabinet is they're metal and you'd have to find some way to maintain connectivity when closed.
Couldn't you put the sensor on the outside?
Or better yet, if the gun safe is in its own area with a door to separate it, put the sensor on that door
Yup. Say the gun safe is in a bedroom or a closet, you could put the sensor on the bedroom or closet door, but that would generate false alerts.
If you put the sensor on the outside of the cabinet, it could just be removed. Tape the two halves of the sensor together and pry them off. As long as they don't separate, it wouldn't trigger.
