Actual lawyer.

He's generally right, in the U.S. at least. Suggesting that someone commit an illegal act does not rise to the level of conspiracy. You have to actually do something meaningful to support the criminal effort to be charged with conspiracy.

In certain circumstances, incitement can be a crime, but the threshold for that crime is very high.

He did provide the tools and instructions, to be fair. I'm not sure if that counts as 'something meaningful', but it's something more than just suggesting, anyway.

He's provided some tools and instructions but he seems to have been fairly careful not to provide everything you'd need - there would still need to be a not inconsiderable application of skill and effort from someone.

Essentially he's not loading the gun, putting it in someone's hand and pointing it just waiting for them to squeeze the trigger. My reading is it's closer to him saying where you might find someone you want to shoot and pointing out the gun store.

What exactly does that mean? What is the line between "incitement" and "suggesting a crime"?

Whatever a jury thinks

... and an appeals court upholds.
