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.'"

    The point behind banning firearms is basicly that guns make murder too easy, sure if your planning on killing somone you could do it, BUT it'd take a few minutes, or some prior planning.

    With a gun its simple, "that guy pisses me off", point, pull trigger. Guns remove the need to consider and plan e action, thus letting you rage wear off during that time.

    I'm not saying "spur of the moment" killings don't happen, i'm just saying they make it much easier for people who dont goto the gym everyday or do some sort of martial arts.
