we need to design AIs accordingly

No, we don't. The harm was self-inflicted. The reader had unlimited time to contemplate their actions before committing them. This is entirely on the user.

    Say I custom built a gun and gave it to someone I know who obviously has severe mental issues: do you think I would have no responsibility for the actions that other person takes? By your logic it seems like I shouldn't, since the mentally ill person has all the time in the world before they end up making a terrible decision.

    Yep: not your problem. That person needs a handler, and you're not theirs. We can give people informed choices. We have no duty to defend someone from their own irrationality.
