NJ recycling center to change guns into art

JERSEY CITY, New Jersey

The "Peace Angel" statue will be donated to the NYPD's lower Manhattan headquarters.

Police Commissioner /*Ray Kelly*/ visited Sims Metal Management in /*Jersey City*/, where the guns will be recycled. He says he hopes the statue will inspire people to turn in their guns.

/*The Art of Peace Charitable*/ Trust is making the statue. The winged angel will stand nearly 5 feet tall and consist of confiscated and repurposed street weapons and non-radioactive nuclear missile casings.
