Guns made into plowshares. Washington, DC - Plowshare Made from Guns

I noticed a strange statue of a plowshare made from guns on D Street near Judiciary Square in Washington, DC. [Bob Fulton, 10/02/1998]

[RA: September 2006: Phil Pasquini sent a photo of the sculpture, partially blocked by some construction going on. July 2006 - Tipster Jason sent some info on the sculpture. Mennonite artist Esther Augsburger and her son Michael created the 16-ft. "Guns into Plowshares" in 1995 by melting together 3,000 guns collected by the Washington DC police department in an amnesty program.]
