Providing the means and method with which to break the law isn't

In general not. Otherwise every gun store owner and manufactuer would
already be locked up. Depending on the local laws, it may or may not
be legal for me to carry locksmithing tools with me. In some cases it's
only illegal for me to carry them if I intend to use them to break the

law.

Good point. The law really does seem to be schizophrenic about this issue.


Not at all. Anybody can make and sell anything that has a legal use. It is using
the item to break the law that's illegal, and that includes conspiring to do so.
Nothing schizoid about it.

often to the physician than to the patient.
