Guns are a completely usable finished product, used legally for many authorized purposes.

Guns, like information, can be used for both legal and illegal purposes, both attack and defense. You attempt to ignore the percent of people who use the illegally to break an apt analogy is pretty transparent. An IT administrator can use that information to protect against the attack of someone else who has it, leaving IT administrators without information is like leaving them unarmed..

You want to help the hackers build an arms race on both sides. A better solution is to annihilate the hackers, and you don't do that by feeding them vulnerabilities. You feed them patches, and catch anyone who cracks it.
