We not only have a right, we have an obligation to make sure that what ever information we provide can/will not be used to harm another. If you hand someone a gun and they kill another person, aren't you also responsible?
No. A person's actions are their own.
So, the person who hands a weapon to a stranger without even questioning why they want it has zero responsibility? Sorry, disagree completely.
From an ethics standpoint, they are guilty of giving a gun to someone they didn't know.
Not the same thing as being ethically responsible for a murder.
On a moral level, this may be different. They aren't the same thing.

Is he guilty of manslaughter in a legal sense?
Is he guilty of manslaughter in an ethical sense?
Is he guilty of manslaughter in a moral sense?
They aren't the same thing.
