    No I think the person who fires the gun or drops the bomb is far more culpable than the person who gave them the gun/ammo/bomb.

    The person supplying the weapon still bears responsibility and guilt and is culpable. But they are not as culpable. The actual murderer is always the most culpable and the most guilty. Those who aid the murderer are culpable and guilty too, but far less so.

      What if the person gives him the gun, tells him how to find his target, watches him kill, and keep killing. And whenever his gun runs out of ammo he helps him reload it. And whenever anyone tries to stop the killer, this person prevents it because they are the biggest and toughest guy around?
