DIY Cruise Missile Grounded

Posted by michael on from the shot-down-in-a-blaze-of-glory dept.

PSaltyDS writes "The DIY Cruise Missile project from New Zealand has been previously covered on /., but the BBC now reports that Bruce Simpson has been forced to shutdown by his government. His project web site says 'The New Zealand government has moved aggressively to shut down this project -- and by using quite unscrupulous methods which appear to be in breach of the law.'"

    So, you're building a munition that could potentially kill thousands of people, damage buildings or even somehow get into the "wrong" hands. Probably should have been a bit more discrete about this. Then again, here in the USA I could demand my constitutional right to bear arms and have every God fearing right wing chatter-box on RF supporting my cause to own missiles as a tax paying, non-muslim, straight, white male with blue eyes to boot. Hell yeah, grab be a Budweiser and lets get this son of a bitch fired up,...yeee haw!!

    Once I became aware that the government were very serious about shutting this project down, I made sure that the missile was removed from my possession and is now elsewhere. I can also say in total honesty that I do not know where it is.

    Well that's f'in wonderful. So it could be in the hands of anyone...including those who would use it against your own citizens? You deserve that "cold, drafty, leaky house".

    ....considering the fact that the Prime Minister of New Zealand is a neo-bolshevik schmuck who has done everything she can to cripple their military. If you think the left in the US is bad, wait till you see what crawls out from under rocks in other countries.
