I’m just throwing this out for discussion. It’s not a perfect analogy...but suppose Person A tries to commit suicide with a semi-auto pistol. But he has trouble chambering a bullet, and the gun jams. So A puts the gun aside.
A then calls B, and tells B exactly what he tried to do. B tells A to try to clear the jam. A then clears the jam, and he shoots himself.
Is Person B guilty of manslaughter?
If person B was aware of the circumstance outside of the gun being jammed, I’d say a case could definitely be made.
Reckless disregard for human life?

It is not a crime to instruct someone on proper gun handling and mechanics. Should gun ranges and instructors be liable for the crimes committed by those attending those classes? After all, gun’ primary purpose is to kill. The responsibility lies solely with the operator. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY for your own life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
