I'm perfectly OK with limited government and individual rights, yes.
As to moral culpability as it relates to free speech, is a security
researcher who publishes a vulnerability responsible for any and all
future malware that exploits that vulnerability?  And no, it's not my
intent to compare consequences--merely the notion of
responsibility--based on your question.

(And FWIW, I'm also OK with the Kimber discount!)
