An Auckland man is providing users of an anti-gay website with instructions on how to build a one-shot gun disguised as a pen. Using the name 'John Wilson' and contactable through a NZ email address, according to today's Sunday Star Times, the man says he lives in Auckland. He told a reporter the pen gun, which has been manufactured by "a friend," fires a .22 calibre bullet and, although low powered, "would still kill if you know how." It is apparently easy to make using basic equipment. The weapon is being advertised through a British website which contains rants against gays and ethnic minorities. The NZ police have been advised as it is illegal to possess homemade guns under the NZ Firearms Act.
